Applicants: Nominated Postdocs
Candidates are nominated by department heads or other senior researchers. More than one candidate from a department may be nominated, but we recommend no more than three. Direct applications are not accepted. Nomination forms are available at www.sloan.org. In addition to this form, the nominator should submit a letter describing the candidate's qualifications and must see that the Foundation receives three supporting letters directly from other researchers, preferably not at the same institution (missing support letters are generally detrimental to a nominee's prospects). A curriculum vitae, a list of scientific publications plus one copy of no more than two representative publications (no books) and a brief (one-page) statement by the nominee describing his/her significant scientific work and immediate research plans should accompany the nomination form and letter. Strong evidence - in submitted publications and supporting letters - of the nominee's independent creativity is one of the most important considerations in the review process.
Nominations are due by September 15 for awards to begin the following September. Nominations are reviewed and candidates selected by a Program Committee of researchers representing the participating fields. Candidates selected for awards are notified early in February. The Program Committee reviews more than 500 nominations each year to arrive at a final selection of 116 Fellows.
Fellowships are awarded for a two-year period; if unexpended funds remain at the end of two years, an extension of the termination date may be obtained. Extensions are limited to a maximum of two years. Funds remaining at the end of that period must be returned to the Foundation. When a Fellow transfers to another institution during the term of the fellowship, the Foundation will transfer unexpended funds to the new institution. The size of the award is $45,000 for the two-year period. Funds are awarded directly to the Fellow's institution and may be used by the Fellow for such purposes as equipment, technical assistance, professional travel, trainee support, or any other activity directly related to the Fellow's research. They may not be used to augment an existing full-time salary or for indirect or overhead charges by the Fellow's institution. Expenditures must be approved by the Fellow's department chair and must be in accord with the policies of the institution.

The complexity inherent in biological research has always provided a fertile field for the development of new mathematical and physical approaches to biological problems. But now, with advances in genomics, quantitative structural biology, and modeling of complex systems, the possibilities for an exciting research career at the interface between the physical/computational sciences and the biological sciences have never been greater. Tackling key problems in biology will require scientists trained in areas such as chemistry, physics, applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering. In recognition of the vital role such cross-trained scientists will play in furthering biomedical science, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund has developed Career Awards at the Scientific Interface. These grants are intended to foster the early career development of researchers with backgrounds in the physical/computational sciences whose work addresses biological questions and who are dedicated to pursuing a career in academic research. Candidates are expected to draw from their training in a scientific field other than biology to propose innovative approaches to answer important questions in the biological sciences. Examples of approaches include, but are not limited to, physical measurement of biological phenomena, computer simulation of complex processes in physiological systems, mathematical modeling of self-organizing behavior, building probabilistic tools for medical diagnosis, developing novel imaging tools or biosensors, applying nanotechnology to manipulate cellular systems, predicting cellular responses to topological clues and mechanical forces, and developing a new conceptual understanding of the complexity of living organisms. Proposals that include experimental validation of theoretical models are particularly encouraged.
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry (physical, theoretical, or computational), computer science, statistics, or engineering. Exceptions will be made only if the applicant can demonstrate significant expertise in one of these areas, evidenced by publications or advanced course work. Candidates must have completed at least six months but not more than 48 months of postdoctoral training at the time of application and must not hold or have accepted a faculty appointment as a tenure-track assistant professor at the time of application. These awards are open to U.S. and Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Limited eligibility for temporary residents—please see program deadlines. Institutions may nominate two to three candidates. Up to eleven awards are made annually.
Career Awards at the Scientific Interface provide $500,000 over five years to support up to two years of advanced postdoctoral training and the first three years of a faculty appointment. During both the postdoctoral and the faculty periods, grants must be made to degree-granting institutions in the United States or Canada on behalf of the award recipient.
