About the Program

• The Mallinckrodt Scholar Award Program, through the Edward Mallinckrodt Jr. Foundation, is a competitive funding opportunity designed to provide faculty members who hold M.D. and/or Ph.D. degrees, and are in their fifth to eighth year of a tenure-track position, with support to move the project forward to the point where other independent funding can be obtained.
• The award provides funding for up to four years at $100,000 per year.
• Applicants may have current R01 funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
• SLU is one of 30 institutions invited to nominate two candidates. Participation in the competition is by invitation only.

What to Submit

• Interested investigators should submit a one to two page summary of their proposed project and Biosketch in NIH format by 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 15.
• A one to two page lay summary will be required in the final proposal and will be of particular importance to the non-scientific trustees of the foundation.
