[Neuropostdocs] Recent Graduates or Postdocs - Young Investigator Grant Opportunity

[Pregent, Stephanie Ann]

As a graduate of the NSP Program, this may appeal to you:


"Proposed research that cuts across traditional boundaries of scientific disciplines is encouraged. Proposals that open new avenues of research in chemistry and life sciences by fostering the invention of methods, instruments and materials will be given additional consideration"

2018 Young Investigator Program

Amount: Grants typically range around $600,000 over the term of the project. Projects are normally funded for a period of four years.



Deadline: August 14, 2017



Guidelines: RFP<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.beckman-2Dfoundation.org_programs_beckman-2Dyoung-2Dinvestigators-2Dprogram-2Dinformation&d=DwMFAg&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=hoXhx5g0VHrAIaV6Wh053L6wi8gP0EsaPOKhLr3Zxnk&m=jDlizTE53DYSoOGfkYusHIAhQF3UQfcwqSa1Sgz4d3c&s=Z6EJOLvB9V2vP0ZowlOQKGcCCK40_dswZpvqBEZGIXY&e=>



The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.beckman-2Dfoundation.com_&d=DwMFAg&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=hoXhx5g0VHrAIaV6Wh053L6wi8gP0EsaPOKhLr3Zxnk&m=jDlizTE53DYSoOGfkYusHIAhQF3UQfcwqSa1Sgz4d3c&s=y211UBnrJDJ5pNMCAmzz9XNbOu7rtDgky8BDM9_n2Xc&e=> is accepting Letters of Intent for its 2018 Beckman Young Investigator grant program.



The annual program is intended to provide research support to the most promising young faculty members in the early stages of an academic career in the chemical or life sciences and to foster the invention of methods, instruments, and materials with the potential to open up new avenues of research in science.



Projects proposed for this program should be truly innovative, high-risk, and show promise for contributing to significant advances in chemistry and the life sciences. They should also represent a departure from current research directions rather than an extension or expansion of existing programs.



Proposed research that cuts across traditional boundaries of scientific disciplines is encouraged. Proposals that open new avenues of research in chemistry and life sciences by fostering the invention of methods, instruments and materials will be given additional consideration



Eligibility:
*         The BYI program is open to those within the first three years of a tenure-track position, or an equivalent independent research appointment, at a United States academic or non-profit institution that conducts research in chemical and life sciences. Tenure Track Start Date must be after: 8/14/2014
*         Candidates must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States at the time of application. Persons who have applied for permanent residency but have not received their government documentation by the time of application are not eligible.
*         No individual may apply for a Beckman Young Investigator award more than two times.
*         Investigators can have no more than $225,000 in direct, annualized external funding grants during any BYI Program Year (Aug-July) at time of application. Start-up funds, department-wide instrumentation grants, and "Transition" grants (such as NIH K99/R00) are not counted toward this total.
*         Institutions are not limited in the number of applicants who apply at the Letter of Intent stage.
*         Institutions with a currently funded BYI are eligible for award consideration.



Please forward as appropriate.

Sincerely,
Julie
