Cottrell Scholar Awards

How to Apply

Eligibility

Eligible applicants are tenure-track faculty members at U.S. institutions whose primary appointment is in a department of astronomy, biochemistry, biophysics, chemistry, or physics, but not in a school of medicine or engineering. The department must grant both the BS/BA and Ph.D. For the 2013 proposal cycle, eligibility is limited to faculty members who started their first tenure-track position anytime in calendar year 2010.

Criteria

Cottrell Scholar applicants submit two plans, one describing the research and one the educational activities. The ability of applicants to mount a strong research program and their commitment to teaching excellence at the undergraduate level are two main criteria in the selection of awards. Successful educational plans show strong potential for significant impact in lower division courses, with the objective of increasing attraction and retention of students in science careers. Consult the complete program guidelines and the FAQ section for full details.

Applications

The 2013 deadline for proposal submission is August 1, 2013. Applications must conform to guidelines and directions, and need to be endorsed by the institution. Potential applicants begin the online submission process by completing the eligibility quiz. If eligible, applicants are given access to a web page with application forms and submission instructions.
