Call for Sackler Foundation Proposals
Due: Thursday, April 2, 2015
The Dr. Mortimer and Theresa Sackler Foundation has endowed a fund, administered by the Department of Psychology in the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences, to support research (living stipends or research expenses) for scholars conducting psychobiological studies of direct relevance to human clinical problems.
Eligible candidates are PhD students in psychology and medical sciences who are engaged in their dissertation research and currently in their second, third or fourth year of study; MD candidates in the medical school; and recent terminal degree recipients working in psychobiology.
Candidates for living stipends must not be receiving other funding such as Graduate School of Arts and Sciences dissertation completion fellowships. The Committee will award Sackler fellowships for no more than two years per person, with a maximum of one year of living stipends; any second year of support would be limited to research funds only. Applicants may request either a stipend year first or a research grant year first.
Nominees should provide the following:
1. Letter of recommendation from their faculty advisor
2. The nominee’s curriculum vitae
3. Two-page description of the research project with an attached budget
Nomination packets should be submitted electronically by Thursday, April 2, 2015, to Joan Smeltzer at smeltzer@wjh.harvard.edu.
