bwf's career awards at the scientific interface (casi) provide $560,000 over five years to bridge advanced postdoctoral training and the first three years of faculty service. these awards are open to u.s. and canadian citizens, permanent residents, and temporary residents.

the burroughs wellcome fund launched the career awards at the scientific interface in 1999 to foster the early career development of researchers who are transitioning from training environments in the physical, mathematical, computational sciences and/or engineering into postdoctoral work in the biological sciences, and who are dedicated to pursuing a career in academic research.
