Awards and Deadlines
Robin Chemers Neustein Postdoctoral Fellowship
The Robin Chemers Neustein Postdoctoral Fellowship is intended to encourage women to pursue careers in scientific research, and therefore the awards may be granted only to female postdoctoral research scientists. Recipients should be senior postdoctoral scientists who intend to complete their training within one to two years, and have demonstrated high impact accomplishments in the life sciences and the potential for an independent scientific career. An individual may receive this fellowship for only one year. For more information, contact the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs at x40380 or theresa.scarabino@mssm.edu
Travel Awards
The intention of this award is to support the postdoctoral fellow who is unable to find funding through his/her PI or department to attend a conference specific to their area of study or an interdisciplinary conference. Several awards of $500 each will be awarded each year. The application deadline is April 1. For more information, contact the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs at x40380 or theresa.scarabino@mssm.edu
Basic Science Award
The intention of this award is to honor the postdoctoral fellow for the Best Publication in the past year. To qualify; nominees must currently be a postdoctoral fellow and the first author, and the paper being submitted must have been published in the last year. Self-nominations will not be accepted. Postdoctoral nominations must be submitted by the Chair of the Department. We anticipate that the Chair will work closely with the mentors to identify the most promising postdoctoral candidates. We will be awarding two Postdoctoral Fellows with the Basic Science Award and both awards will be in the amount of $500. All nominations must be received in The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs by March 31. For more information, contact the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs at x40380 or theresa.scarabino@mssm.edu

This year we will be accepting applications for an award to cover registration for a workshop offered at the New York Academy of Sciences entitled, "Making the Leap: A Non-Academic Career Planning & Job Search Boot Camp."
