The Beckman Young Investigator awards have been reinstated for 2012, and the
deadline for a letter of intent is October 23. The Beckman award is
intended to provide funding to individuals with “minimal or no external or
internal funding from parent or other organizations”. The awards are open
to tenure-track faculty who conduct fundamental research in the chemical and
life sciences. More information can be found at the below link.
(This TARU award was not funded in 2009 and 2010, rumored to have been due to
losses in the Madoff scandal but that could just be folklore.)</p>
