***Limited funding opportunity for junior faculty in the first three years of their faculty careers in the natural or physical sciences or engineering (i.e., physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, astronomy, computer science, earth science, ocean science, and all branches of engineering). An internal selection process is required***
Each School must conduct it's own internal selection process in order to determine the top three proposals it will send to the Dean of Research Office internal review committee. The information contained in this email applies to the School of Medicine internal selection process ONLY. For information on your School's internal selection process, please contact:
Earth Sciences - Christina Sebastian, christina.sebastian@stanford.edu
Engineering - Barbara Richardson, brich4@stanford.edu
H & S - Kristi Geerke, geerke@stanford.edu
Medicine - Jeanne Heschele, Jheschele@stanford.edu
( see internal submission guidelines )

Note: the funding opportunity guidelines are not available on the sponsor's website.
Internal deadline:
School of Medicine Internal Deadline: Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2009, 4 p.m.
(please see the School of Medicine Internal Submission Guidelines below
Amount of funding
$875,000 total over 5 years .
Purpose:
These research fellowships are for young faculty in the natural sciences and engineering.
The intent of the Fellowship Program is to provide support for unusually creative researchers early in their careers; faculty members who are well established and well funded are less likely to receive the award.
- Candidates must be faculty members in the first three years of their faculty careers (assistant professors) at the time of proposal submission, that is, their initial appointments began no earlier than May 31, 2006 and no later than May 31, 2009. (Please use the date your assistant professor faculty appointment was formally approved by the Provost Office. Time you spent in an "acting assistant professor" appointment does not count.) Per the sponsor: "Most of the candidates we receive are on tenure track; however, non-tenure track professors are also eligible."
- Candidates must be engaged in research in the natural and physical sciences or engineering. Disciplines that will be considered include physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, astronomy, computer science, earth science, ocean science, and all branches of engineering. Candidates engaged in research in the social sciences will not be considered.
The intent of the Fellowship Program is to provide support for unusually creative researches early in their careers; faculty members who are well established and well funded are less likely to receive the award. - It is further the intent of the Foundation to emphasize support for innovative individual research that involves the Fellows, their students, and junior colleagues, rather than extensions or components of large-scale, ongoing research programs.
- Already heavily funded areas, such as clinical research*, research associated with the design and construction of large national facilities such as accelerators and space stations, and applied research of direct relevance to national security, will not be funded through this Fellowship. (Clarification: *Clinical research in general is heavily funded, therefore, it will not be funded through the Packard.
