These grants are intended to seed new interdisciplinary research projects happening at the Beckman Institute. Proposals may request up to $150,000 for two years.

The expectation is that the selected projects will lead to externally funded research proposals within two years and will form the building blocks of novel programs of research at the Beckman Institute. Submissions are due early in the spring semester each year. The Beckman Institute Program Advisory Committee will evaluate them in accordance with Beckman’s core values: excellence, collaboration, integrity, transdisciplinarity, exploration and diversity.

Please direct questions to Beckman Associate Director for Research Cristina Álvarez-Mingote.
