Funding provides a 50% teaching buyout, protected research time, and support for research, student engagement, mentoring, and federal grant development. Eligible institutions must nominate up to four current or newly recruited junior tenure-track faculty, each with at least one relevant peer-reviewed publication or clear evidence of an active research program and a senior faculty mentor. Letters of intent are due by noon Eastern on November 12, 2026; invited full applications are due February 8, 2027.
