Research scholar program

The Research Scholar Program provides unrestricted gifts to support research at institutions around the world, and is focused on funding world-class research conducted by early-career professors.

Applicants must be a full-time assistant, associate, or professor at a university or degree-granting research institution at the time of the application submission.

Post doctoral staff can only serve as a co-PI, not a primary PI.
Applicants must have received their PhD within seven years of submission (e.g., applicants in 2023 must have received their PhD in 2016 or later).

We consider exceptions for applicants who have been teaching seven years or fewer and had delays, such as working in industry, parental leave, leave of absence, etc. This exception request can be documented on the application.
Applicants can submit one application per round.

Faculty can only serve as a PI or Co-PI per round. Applicants cannot serve on two separate proposals.
Applicants can apply a maximum of 3 times within the 7 years post-PhD.
