Der Life Sciences Schwerpunkt wurde im Jahr 2003 gestartet und ist somit das am längsten laufende Programm des Fonds. Die Lebenswissenschaften haben eine wichtige Rolle und sind stark in der Wiener Forschungslandschaft vertreten, von der Grundlagenforschung bis zur angewandten translationalen Forschung. Der Fonds hat in den vergangenen Jahren mehrere Ausschreibungen mit thematischen Fokus in den verschiedenen Forschungsgebieten durchgeführt: von "Molecular Mechanisms and Methods" bis "Personalized Medicine", über Themen wie "Imaging" und "Nutritional Sciences". Die Calls richten sich an ForscherInnen in den verschiedenen Fachbereichen wie z.B. Biologie, Biotechnologie, Medizin, Veterinärmedizin, Pharmazie, Bioengineering und verwandte Fachbereiche. Außerdem wird großer Wert auf interdisziplinäre und kollaborative Forschung gelegt, um Forscher*innen unterschiedlicher Fakultäten und Institutionen zusammen zu bringen und interaktive Partnerschaften in Wien zu fördern.
