The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs established the Postdoc FHF in 2011 (formerly known as the “Emergency Grant-in-Aid Fund”) to assist postdoctoral scholars who have significant financial difficulty paying their healthcare premiums.  This Fund was extended in 2012 due to the increase in health insurance premiums.  Applications to the FHF are only accepted during open enrollment.  More information and application instructions.
