Simons Foundation Fellows-to-Faculty Award Program
The Simons Foundation’s Autism & Neuroscience division offers the Fellows-to-Faculty Award program to support talented early-career scientists and their research vision as they transition into tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions.
The request for applications is intended for senior postdoctoral scholars or equivalent researchers whose backgrounds and experiences are underrepresented in science.
For the 2025 RFA, we are seeking scientists whose research vision will advance the mission of either the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) or the Simons Collaboration on Plasticity and the Aging Brain (SCPAB). We welcome applications from scientists with a previous background in these areas and those newly applying their expertise to these areas.
Awardees receive funding toward the end of their postdoctoral career and a commitment of a $600,000 USD faculty research grant. Fellows may activate the award funding at institutions within or outside the United States. Applications are due by January 14, 2025.
