Hellman Fellows
Guidelines for the 2009-2010 Program
The
Hellman Fellowship Program was established at UCSD in 1995 through the
generosity of Chris and Warren Hellman. This is the fourteenth year for this
wonderful program that is designed to provide financial support and
encouragement to young faculty in the core disciplines who show capacity for
great distinction in their research and creative activities. Funds awarded are
primarily intended as support for research and creative activities that will
enhance the individual's progress towards tenure; therefore, faculty would
normally be expected to have completed at least two years as an assistant
professor. Faculty who have not completed two years are eligible; however, they
would need to show a significant level of productivity and independence.
APPLICATION CRITERIA
-
Full-time, non-tenured, general campus ladder-rank faculty are eligible for
consideration.
-
Preference in awarding Hellman Fellowships is given to eligible faculty of
great promise who have not previously received a young investigator award and
are approaching their third year of appointment or beyond.
-
Funds
may be used for summer salary support, research and laboratory equipment,
travel, and other research-related expenses, but may not be used to replace
faculty salaries in the academic year.
-
The
recipient must be in the assistant professor rank at the time the transfer of
award funds occurs.
