Congratulations to Columbia chemistry professors Tristan
Lambert and Scott Snyder, who have been selected by the Afred P. Sloan
Foundation as recipients of 2010 Sloan Research Fellowships. Sloan
Fellowships recognize "the achievements of outstanding young scholars in
science, mathematics, economics and computer science ... and seek to stimulate
fundamental research by early-career scientists and scholars of outstanding
promise." According to the Foundation website, the two-year
fellowships are awarded yearly to 118 researchers in recognition of distinguished
performance and their unique potential to make substantial contributions to
their field.
Sloan Research Fellowships provide funding of $50K to be expended over a two-year period. The funds are awarded directly to the Fellow's institution and may be used by the Fellow for equipment, technical assistance, professional travel, trainee support, or any other activity directly related to their research.
You can learn more about the Sloan Foundation and its research award program on the Sloan Foundation website. More information about about the research programs of Professor's Lambert and Snyder can be found on their group websites (The Lambert Group and The Snyder Group)
