| Disciplines Included
|
Natural and physical sciences or
engineering including physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology,
astronomy, computer science, earth science, ocean science, and
all branches of engineering. Not supported: social sciences;
certain areas of contemporary science and engineering that already
have access to relatively generous funding (for example, clinical
research, research associated with the design and construction
of large national facilities such as accelerators and space
stations, and applied research of direct relevance to national
security.) |
| Eligibility Requirements |
Candidates must be in the first
three years of their faculty careers (as of May in the year of the award)
and have demonstrated unusual creative ability in their research work.
It is the intent of the Fellowship program to provide support for researchers
early in their careers. Faculty who are well established and funded are
less likely to receive a fellowship. |
