LIMITED SUBMISSION ANNOUNCEMENT

Grantor: Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Research Fellowships

The Office of Research Development and Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations invites faculty to submit internal applications to the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship Program. This prestigious program is awarded to researchers whose creativity, innovation, and research accomplishments make them stand out as the next generation of leaders in the fields of: Chemistry; Computer Science; Earth System Science; Economics; Mathematics; Neuroscience, Physics, or a related field.

Key Eligibility Details:

• Applicants must be faculty members who are tenure-track, though untenured as of September 15, 2026. Previously, the Sloan Foundation limited applicants to those within 6 years of their Ph.D. While this is no longer a requirement, the award remains targeted to faculty considered early career researchers. 
• Eligible faculty members must carry a regular teaching obligation.
• Eligible faculty members must be conducting research in one of Sloan’s seven research areas (see above), but do not need to hold a position in that department (For example, if your work is in basic chemistry, but your appointment is in engineering, you would still be eligible).

Funding Amount:

Funding Amount: The Sloan Fellowship Program provides $75,000 over two years to support awarded investigators.

Sloan Fellowship Program Details:

Faculty who are competitive for Sloan Fellowships are those who have the potential to revolutionize their fields of study. They have a strong record of significant independent and creative research accomplishments and are normally several years past the completion of their Ph.D. in order to accumulate a competitive record of research.

• All submissions must be accompanied by an official nomination letter from a Department Head or other senior researcher, which carry significant weight in the selection process. Letters should be from someone who can speak objectively and knowledgeably about the quality and significance of a nominee’s work but carry some professional distance from the nominee (i.e., co-authors, personal associates, and mentors are given less weight in their nomination letter).
• In addition to the nomination letter, applications will include three letters from other researchers (preferably not from the same institution) written in support of the nomination.
• Candidates must also submit two representative articles that highlight his or her independent research.

Rowan University’s Internal Competition Details:

While limited in the number of applications, Rowan University can submit multiple candidates in each of the required fields.

Internal Application Requirements:

1. A one-page, research statement that describes the creativity, impact and significance of your current work and plans for future research in your field.
2. A brief list of potential nominators and colleagues to write letters of support.
3. A CV, no more than five single-spaced pages
