BWF's Career Awards at the Scientific Interface provide $500,000 to bridge advanced postdoctoral training and the first three years of faculty service. These awards are intended to foster the early career development of researchers who have transitioned or are transitioning from undergraduate and/or graduate work in the physical/mathematical/computational sciences or engineering into postdoctoral work in the biological sciences, and who are dedicated to pursuing a career in academic research. These awards are open to U.S. and Canadian citizens or permanent residents as well as to U.S. temporary residents. Prior to 2010, candidates for this award were nominated by North American degree-granting institutions. Since 2010, eligible candidates for this award may self-nominate by submitting a preproposal. http://www.bwfund.org/pages/558/Career-Awards-at-the-Scientific-Interface/ An eligibility quiz has been created to assist you in determining whether you are eligible to apply for this award. Successful completion of the quiz will take you directly to the preproposal application. You will be notified upon conclusion of the quiz if you are not eligible to continue.
