Good Afternoon,

The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has released their call for nominations for the 2024 Sloan Research Fellowships, a prestigious early career award that recognizes and rewards outstanding early-career faculty who have the potential to revolutionize their fields of study. More information on the award and eligibility can be found in the synopsis below:

 

Sloan Research Fellowship

OSP Deadline: September 8, 2023. Departments or areas may require additional time for proposal review and submission. Please discuss a timeline with your grants administrator.

Sponsor Deadline: September 15, 2023

Award Amount: $75,000 for two years
Eligible Applicants: Candidates must be tenure-track, though untenured, as of September 15, 2023. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in chemistry, computer science, Earth system science, economics, mathematics, neuroscience, physics, or a related field.

The Sloan Research Fellowship Program is awarded annually to outstanding early-career faculty in recognition of distinguished performance and a unique potential to make substantial contributions to their field. Nominated candidates are normally several years past the completion of their Ph.D. in order to accumulate a competitive record of independent, significant research. Fellowship funds may be used by the fellow for any expense judged supportive of the fellow's research including staffing, travel, lab expenses, equipment, or summer salary support. Fellowship funds may not be used for indirect costs.

In order to be considered for a Sloan Research Fellowship, a candidate must have a letter of nomination from a department head or other senior researcher officially nominating the candidate and describing their qualifications, initiative, and research. No more than three candidates may be nominated from any one department.
