Follow the published program instructions: prepare a nominated Letter of Interest by the stated LOI deadline, use the foundation’s online portal for submission, and be prepared for an invitation‑only full proposal if shortlisted. Emphasize a high‑risk/high‑reward chemical biology research plan, institutional support, and readiness for the foundation’s reporting requirements; outreach to listed scientific advisors or staff can be useful but the formal LOI route is primary.
