Program Summary
The Sloan Research Fellowships seek to stimulate fundamental research by early-career scientists and scholars of outstanding promise. These fellowships are awarded to researchers in recognition of distinguished performance and a unique potential to make substantial contributions to their field. While Fellows are expected to be at an early stage of their research careers, there should be strong evidence of independent research accomplishments. Candidates in all fields are normally below the rank of associate professor and do not hold tenure, but these are not strict requirements.
Eligibility
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.
Limits
No more than three candidates per department should be nominated. Candidates should be nominated by department heads or other senior researchers. Self applications are not accepted.
