YCCI Scholar Awards

We are pleased to announce a request for applications for the YCCI Scholar Awards and Yale Physician-Scientist Development Awards, which provide salary and/or research funds to a select number of junior faculty members who are strongly committed to research careers focused on improving human health. This includes basic, translational, clinical, and community-based research. Individuals must be nominated by a department chair, division head/section chief, or center/program director. The primary aim of these awards is to prepare the applicant for a successful independent research career, so career development and mentoring plans are very important. Awards will be for a total of two years. Funds may be requested to cover up to 75% of an individual’s salary (with a maximum of $120,000, including fringe benefits per year) and up to $25,000 of research support per year. Applicants who already have a career development award or who are the Principal Investigator on an award that includes direct costs of ≥$200,000/year for two or more years are not eligible for salary support but may apply for up to $25,000 in research support per year (the specific aims of this additional research support must be different from the specific aims of the career development award, though they can be related). Applicants who have substantial start-up funds may not be eligible for salary support; this will be determined at the time of the award.
