see complete list on http://biochemistry.ucsf.edu/fellowships.html

Among those the following are the ones which are available to people without
green card:

Name & link prestige & selectivity
HHWF (www.hhwf.org) 5
DDCR(www.cancerresearchfund.org) 4
JCCM (http://www.jccfund.org) 4-5
LSRF(http://www.lsrf.org) 4-5
LLS(www.lls.org), fellow and special fellow
3

The selectivity is based on my own offer letters and people I know who get the
fellowships. For example, DDCR made 19 offers out of 169 applicants this
time, HHWF made 21 offers out of 389 applicants this time. I know several
people get DDCR or LSRF but not HHWF.

Keep in mind most of the fellowships above don't support more than one person
in one time or even any given time, so if the lab you are going to already
have one fellow who is not at the end of 3-yr funding period, you don't have
the chance of getting that fellowship at all.

If you have any 1st author CNS papers and early in your post-doc, you should
definetly try the first two. but don't give up if you have have so so papers
or earned your degree in China. I know several people with papers like JMB,
JBC, NAR get the LLS every easily. LLS special fellow is a good choice if you
don't have any publications in your Ph.D. but get some OK papers out of your
first several 3 ys of post-doc.

Most fellowhships are open to all types of basic research including
biophysics. Yeast people definetly have a good chance because I work with
yeast. It's just a model organism for whatever Qs you want to ask and doesn't
matter if it is worm, fly or sth else.
