Applicants must hold a faculty appointment as a tenure-track assistant professor (or higher rank) at the time of award activation. Applicants at non-profit research institutions worldwide are encouraged to apply. Award provides funding of up to 200,000 USD (direct costs only) for a period of 12-24 months.
