James S. McDonnell Research
Awards<http://thescholarin donesia.com/ detail/?oid= &fid=&iid= 128>
21st Century Research Awards are designed to support research projects with
a high probability of generating new knowledge and insights. Projects
submitted for funding consideration should be at an early, even preliminary
stage of development, and should be intended to break new ground or to
challenge commonly-held assumptions.
Projects submitted should be sufficiently novel, cross-disciplinary, or
heterodox so that they have a strong likelihood of influencing the
development of new ways of thinking about important problems.
21st Century Research Awards provide adequate, flexible funding over a
sufficient time period to allow investigators to pursue and develop
innovative directions to their research programs. A maximum of $450,000
total costs can be requested and the funds can be expended over a minimum of
3 years or a maximum of 6 years. Deadline : Mar 12, 2008
James S. McDonnell Scholar Awards
<http://thescholarin donesia.com/ detail/?oid= &fid=&iid= 129>
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. In 2008, Scholar
Awards are only available in the Understanding Human Cognition program area.
Scholar Awards provide largely unrestricted funding over a sufficient time
period to allow investigators to pursue and develop new directions to their
research programs. For this reason, once you have received a James S.
McDonnell Scholar Award, you are not eligible to receive another Scholar
Award. Deadline : Apr 07, 2008
