Simons Foundation Independence Awards for Early Career Scientists
The Simons Foundation Independence Awards seek to support early-career scientists from diverse and/or historically underrepresented backgrounds in their transition from mentored training into independent faculty positions. These awards are offered through the following Simons Foundation grantmaking programs:
- Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI)
- Simons Collaboration on Plasticity and the Aging Brain (SCPAB)
- Simons Collaboration on the Global Brain (SCGB)
Award: Selected applicants will receive up to two years of postdoctoral support with an annual salary of $85,000 plus a yearly resource and professional development allowance of $10,000. Upon assumption of an approved tenure-track faculty position (or equivalent), fellows will receive grant funding of $600,000 total over three years. Please visit this website to see a recorded webinar about the opportunity.
The program is aimed at: Ph.D. and/or M.D.-holding scientists who are currently in a non-independent, mentored training position at an institution within or outside the U.S. and who will be actively applying to tenure-track faculty positions between September 2024–May 2025 at research institutions within or outside the U.S. We aim to support scientists from diverse and/or underrepresented communities within these categories: race, ethnicity, disadvantaged social and/or economic status, gender identity, sexual orientation and disability status. We also recognize that diversity and underrepresentation can vary from setting to setting and across countries. U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status is not required. Please see the eligibility criteria for more information.

RF Webinar: The Spencer Foundation
December 6, 2023 (12 noon – 1pm)
The Spencer Foundation
Overview of Webinar: The Spencer Foundation works to investigate ways in which education can be improved around the world. There is a great dedication to research, as it is necessary for the improvement of education. The Spencer Foundation supports research programs in high-quality investigations of education. By awarding research grants, and fellowships the foundation strengthens the connections in education research, policy and practice through communications and networking. The foundation awards a series of prestigious fellowships to early career education researchers, typically pre-tenured professors at research institutions. Each fellowship is for a total of $55,000 and is for one or two years depending on the preference of the recipient. The fellowship relieves the researcher from a year’s worth of teaching responsibilities to pursue an innovative and important education research project. The foundation also awards a series of prestigious fellowships to doctoral students completing dissertation research in any area of education research. Each fellowship is for $25,000 and supports individuals in the final year of their doctoral training.
Targeted Audience: All CUNY Faculty and Doctoral students engaged in research and training on educational research and research on quality learning; racial and justice equity; human work and learning; state and federal policy.
Presenters: John Tsapogas, Director, RFCUNY APPS and Xia Li, Associate Professor, Early Childhood Education, Brooklyn College
