Project Description
This announcement has been archived and replaced by Searle Scholars Program 2024
The Searle Scholars Program makes grants to selected universities and research centers to support the independent research of exceptional young faculty in the biomedical sciences and chemistry who have recently been appointed as assistant professors on a tenure-track appointment.
The Searle Scholars Program Scientific Advisory Board is primarily interested in the potential of applicants to make innovative and high-impact contributions to research over an extended period of time.
Amount per Award: $300,000
Duration of Award: 3 Years
Number of Awards: 15 new awards annually
Eligibility
Applicants for the 2023 competition (awards which will be activated on July 1, 2023) 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.
Applicants should have begun their appointment as an independent investigator at the assistant professor level on or after July 1, 2021. The appointment must be their first tenure-track position (or its nearest equivalent) at an invited institution.
Applicants who were nominated for awards in the previous competition year but were not awarded may still meet the eligibility criteria for the current competition.
UW–Madison may nominate 2 candidates
