Research Scholar Program

We encourage submissions from professors globally who are teaching at universities and meet the eligibility requirements. It is our hope that this program will help develop collaborations with new professors and encourage the formation of long-term relationships.

Awards are disbursed as unrestricted gifts to the university and are not intended for overhead or indirect costs. They are intended for use during the academic year in which the award is provided to support the professor’s research efforts.

Eligibility criteria

• Open to professors (assistant, associate, etc) at a university or degree-granting research institution.
• Applicants must have received their PhD within seven years of submission (e.g. applicant in 2020 must have received PhD in 2013 or later). Exceptions will be made for applicants who have been teaching seven years or fewer and had delays, such as working in industry, leave of absence, etc.
• Applicants can submit one application per round, and apply a maximum of three times.

Funding amounts

The funds granted will be up to $60,000 USD and are intended to support the advancement of the professor’s research.
