PLEASE NOTE: New grant proposals are no longer being accepted in this program.
Initiated in 2013, the MoBE Postdoctoral Fellowships encourage and support early-career researchers interested in studying the microbiology of the built environment. Fellows receive a two-year, $120,000 grant to use in support of a postdoctoral research project examining some aspect of indoor microbiology.
