Overview
The JSMF Scholar Awards program derives from and is consistent with JSMF’s commitment to supporting high quality research and scholarship leading to the generation of new knowledge and its responsible application. The JSMF Scholar Awards are designed to support research with a high probability of generating new knowledge and insights. Prior to applying prospective applicants should review the description of complex systems science used for the purposes of this call for proposals. In general, JSMF receives many more proposals than it can fund. Research projects outside the Foundation’s described area of interest will not be funded.
Scholar Awards in Complex System Science ( Scholar Awards-CS) provide largely unrestricted funding over a sufficient time period ($450,000 paid in three (3) $150,000 payments; funds expendable in no less than 3 and no more than 6 years) to allow investigators to pursue and develop new directions to their research programs. Scholars who do not fully expend the funds in 6 years will have the opportunity to request a 1 time no-cost extension of up to 2 years, but unless there are mitigating circumstances to justify prolonging the grant period the grant will be terminated and unexpended funds returned. It is JSMF’s intent that Scholars expend the funds to pursue a research program within the 6 year time period. Scholar Awards-CS are one-time support. Once you have received a James S. McDonnell Scholar Award, you are not eligible to receive another Scholar Award.
Applications must be submitted electronically via the JSMF website and are due on Wednesday, March 13, 2013, no later than 15:59 CDT (20:59 UTC).
