FOA-The
Beckman Foundation - Beckman Young Investigator Program; August 3,
2020
Description:
The
Beckman Young Investigator (BYI) Program provides research support to the most
promising young faculty members in the early stages of their academic careers
in the chemical and life sciences, particularly to foster the invention of
methods, instruments and materials that will open up new avenues of research in
science.
Projects
proposed for the BYI program should be truly innovative, high-risk, and show
promise for contributing to significant advances in chemistry and the life
sciences. They should represent a departure from current research directions
rather than an extension or expansion of existing programs. Proposed research
that cuts across traditional boundaries of scientific disciplines is
encouraged. Proposals that open new avenues of research in chemistry and life
sciences by fostering the invention of methods, instruments and materials will
be given additional consideration.
The
BYI program funds promising young scientists early in their careers who have
not yet received a major award from another organization. Proposals that
already have substantial funding will not be considered for the BYI award (see
eligibility for more information). Projects are normally funded for a period of
four years. Grants are in the range of $600,000 over the term of the project,
contingent upon demonstrated progress after the second year of the
award.
No
individual may apply for a Beckman Young Investigator award more than two times
(includes submitting a Letter of Intent).
