Sloan Foundation - Sloan Research Fellowships
Program Summary
The Sloan Research Fellowships seek to stimulate fundamental research by early-career scientists and scholars of outstanding promise. These two-year fellowships are awarded yearly to 118 researchers in recognition of distinguished performance and a unique potential to make substantial contributions to their field.
Candidates for Sloan Research Fellowships are required to:
- Hold a Ph.D. (or equivalent) in chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, economics, neuroscience or computational and evolutionary molecular biology, or in a related interdisciplinary field;
- Be tenure track
- Be no more than six years from completion of the most recent Ph.D. or equivalent, unless they have held a faculty appointment for less than two years or unless one of the following special circumstances apply: military service, a change of field, or child rearing.
Awards
$50,000 for the two-year period. Funds may be used for equipment, technical assistance, professional travel, trainee support, or other activities directly related to Fellow's research. Funds may not be used to augment salary or for indirect costs.
UIC is restricted to three nominations per academic department. Candidates must be nominated by department heads or other senior researchers. Direct applications are not allowed.
