Searle Scholars Program - Chicago Community Trust Searle Scholars Program
Program Summary
UIC has been invited to submit one proposal to the Searle Scholars Program. This highly competitive and prestigious program supports the independent research of outstanding individuals who have recently been appointed as assistant professors on a tenure track appointment. Applicants are expected to be pursuing independent research careers in biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, immunology, neuroscience, pharmacology, and related areas in chemistry, medicine, and the biological sciences.
Eligibility
Candidates should have begun their first appointment as an independent investigator at the assistant professor level on or after July 1, 2010. Applicants need not be U.S. citizens.
Awards
$300,0000 for a three year period.
The Searle Scholars Program does not ordinarily support purely clinical research but has supported research programs that include both clinical and basic components. Potential applicants who are unsure if their research is appropriate for the Program are encouraged to examine the research interests of present and former Searle Scholars on the Program web site (http://www.searlescholars.net/).
