Autism Research Initiative Bridge to Independence
Award Info:
Awardees will receive a commitment of $495,000 over three years, activated upon assumption of a tenure-track professorship.
Description:
This request for applications (RFA) is aimed at senior postdoctoral fellows who intend to seek tenure-track faculty positions during the 2019-2020 academic year.
BTI grants are awarded through a multi-stage process. The first stage is a competitive process in which Letters of Intent (LOIs) are reviewed by the SFARI science team and an external scientific panel. BTI awardees are selected at the end of stage one. Upon notification, awardees have one year to secure a tenure-track professorship at an academic institution in the U.S. or Canada and submit an approval application. Review of the approval application is a non-competitive, internal process intended to confirm that the awardee has secured an academic research position and adequate institutional resources to accomplish the Bridge to Independence research proposal.
Letters of recommendation and LOIs due August 8, 2019.
