Searle Scholars Program
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the Searle Scholars Program has again invited Loyola University Chicago to participate in its annual competition, which is focused on supporting independent research for “exceptional young scientists” who have been recently appointed as assistant professor in a tenure-track.
Program Description
The Searle Scholars Program makes grants to selected academic institutions to support the independent research of outstanding young scientists who have recently joined the tenure-track faculty in their first academic appointments as assistant professors. The current grant level is $300,000 for a three-year period. Normally, the program makes 15 new awards each year. Applicants must be pursuing independent research careers in biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, immunology, neuroscience, pharmacology, and related areas in chemistry, medicine and the biological sciences, and should have begun their appointment as an independent investigator at the assistant professor level.
Numerous institutions have been invited to apply this year. Applications to the program must be submitted by institutional offices, and not by individual candidates. This year, Loyola has been invited to submit one (1) proposal. Because of this restriction, an internal competition is required, involving the Maywood and lakeside campuses. If you are interested in applying, please submit a one-page summary pre-proposal, including hypothesis and aims, along with an NIH- or NSF-type biosketch that shows the date of your appointment as Assistant Professor, as a pdf or Word document to Tracy Foxworth, Office of Research Services, Lakeshore Campus (tfoxwor@luc.edu). An ad hoc committee of senior scientists will select the applicant from all submitted pre-proposals.
Deadlines

Sincerely,
