11:31 a.m., June 29, 2009----The University of Delaware has become one of the 147 institutions eligible to nominate young faculty for the Searle Scholars Program, which makes grants to selected universities and research centers to support the independent research of exceptional young faculty in the biomedical sciences and chemistry.
UD has been invited to submit one nomination by Sept. 25.
The Searle Scholars Program typically makes 15 awards of $100,000 per year for three years. The next round of awards will commence in July 2010.
The eligibility criteria are as follows:
Applicants for year 2010 awards will be 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.
Candidates should have begun their first appointment as an independent investigator at the assistant professor level on or after July 1, 2008. The appointment must be a tenure-track position (or its nearest equivalent) at an invited institution.
The Searle Scholars Program does not ordinarily support purely clinical research but has supported research programs that include both clinical and basic components. Potential applicants who are unsure if their research is appropriate for the program are encouraged to examine the research interests of present and former Searle Scholars on the program's Web site.
Since UD is restricted to one nomination, the Research Office will handle this as a limited submission, with information due to the Research Office by July 20. Further instructions are posted on the Limited Submissions section of the Research Office Web site.
The Searle Scholars Program was established at The Chicago Community Trust in 1980 and has been administered by Kinship Foundation since 1996. The program is funded from the estates of Mr. and Mrs. John G. Searle. Mr. Searle was the grandson of the founder of the worldwide pharmaceutical company, G.D. Searle & Company. It was Mr. Searle's wish that certain funds be used to support “research in medicine, chemistry, and the biological sciences.”
