Call for Nominations: Regeneron Prize for Outstanding Research for Postdocs - Internal Competition Required

[Corey Schenck]

We are pleased to announce the internal call for postdoctoral scholar nominations for the 2nd Annual Regeneron Prize for Outstanding Research (please see attached information document and nomination form for details). The Regeneron Prize “recognizes and honors excellence in Biomedical Science conducted by graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.” Regeneron is asking MIT to submit two candidates to compete for this prize for each of the categories (two graduate and two postdoc candidates).

Prize: One graduate student and one postdoctoral fellow will receive a check for $50,000 and their home institution will receive a donation of $5,000 to help support their seminar series. Also, approximately 8-10 finalists and semi-finalists will receive a prize of $5,000.

Process: Postdoctoral candidates must be nominated for the prize by their Program Head or Dean, and must prepare a two-page research proposal. Each institution may nominate no more than two total trainees for each of the prizes, and therefore each nomination form must include a signature of the Program Head or Dean endorsing the candidate. The Office of the Dean for Graduate Education will facilitate graduate student nominations, which should be sent to Scott Tirrell stirrell at mit.edu<mailto:stirrell at mit.edu>.

Application materials:

1) The attached nomination form

2) The candidate's CV

3) PDFs of publications by the candidate

4) Two-page research proposal (single-spaced) describing a “dream” project that they would want to do within the field of biomedical science.

Please submit interested postdoctoral scholar candidate application materials (listed above) and supporting information to Corey Schenck cschenck at mit.edu<mailto:cschenck at mit.edu> by Monday February 24, 2014. The final deadline for submitting nominations to Regeneron is March 1, 2014.
