The Simons Foundation is invested in supporting the next generation of
researchers. Our Bridge to Independence (BTI) Award programs promote
talented early-career scientists by facilitating their transition to research
independence and providing grant funding at the start of their professorships.
We are offering such awards through two of our programs:
the Simons Collaboration on the Global Brain (SCGB), and the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI).
These requests for applications (RFAs) are aimed at Ph.D. and M.D. – holding scientists who are currently in training positions and intend to seek tenure-track faculty positions over the next two years (i.e., 2021-2023). Successful applicants will receive a commitment of $495,000 over three years, activated upon assumption of a tenure-track professorship.
