UC is galvanizing its mission to serve the greater good
We’re thrilled to announce the inaugural class of promising early career faculty, who are receiving $25,000 each to take a transformative research idea and run with it over the next two years.
These brand new awards build upon the rich legacy of the University Research Council, UC’s oldest and most prestigious internal funding program, which was established in 1971 to work with the Office of the Vice President for Research to support research at UC.
The first class includes eight winners, two in each of the following categories: Arts & Humanities, Behavioral & Social Sciences, Life Sciences and Physical Sciences & Engineering.
The program has been established as part of UC’s Research2030 strategic plan, a 10-year plan for UC research which will officially be announced during Research + Innovation Week Kick-Off March 29 from 4-6 p.m. The Faculty Scholars program was created to establish a premier program focused on outstanding early career faculty throughout the university.
