Project Description
Recognizing that outstanding, early career, independent investigators are the source for future advances in the biomedical sciences and appreciating that flexible funding for basic research is needed, the Vallee Foundation will once again accept nominations for Vallee Scholar Awards. The Vallee Foundation welcomes nominations for outstanding scientists regardless of race, gender or disability, recognizes the importance of diversity within the scientific research community, and is committed to furthering the careers of historically under-represented minorities.
It is expected that Vallee Scholars will be engaged in bold and innovative research. During the grant period, the Vallee Scholar will be invited to two biennial Vallee Scholars Meetings and, in alternate years, to two Vallee Summer Symposia and will be asked to present their research on at least one of these occasions.
Amount per Award: $340,000
Duration of Award: 4 Years
Number of Awards: 6 in 2024
Eligibility
The candidate must have received a PhD/MD or other professional degree within 12 years of the application deadline. By the same date, the candidate should be in an independent research position at the nominating institution and have been an independent researcher for 6 years or fewer.
