TERMS OF THE AWARD
The twenty fifth class of
Pew Scholars will be selected in 2009 and, given evidence of satisfactory
progress, will be supported for four years. An award of $70,000 per year
will be provided to sponsoring institutions for use by the Scholar over
the four-year period, subject to annual review of the Scholar's progress.
Grants will be awarded in July 2009. Annual progress reports are required,
describing research accomplishments, project status, and future directions.
In addition, financial reports are required annually accounting for grant
expenditures and interest. Funding for the second, third and fourth years
is contingent upon timely submission of acceptable financial and narrative
progress reports.
Scholars may not simultaneously be supported by similar private foundation
awards in excess of $25,000 for the first two years of their Pew Scholarship.
National Institutes of Health grants, Research Career Development Awards,
Faculty Research Awards and grants from non-profit associations such as
the American Cancer Society, etc do not pose a conflict with the Pew award.
If you are uncertain about the status of a specific award, please contact
the Program Office prior to applying for this scholarship.
The funds may be used, at the discretion of the Pew Scholar, for personnel,
equipment, supplies, or travel directly related to the Scholar's research,
in whatever way will best advance the research and the Scholar's career.
Not more than $10,000 of the annual award may be used for the Scholar's
salary (including fringe). Should the funds not be immediately required
for the permitted purposes they may be accumulated (up to a maximum of
$100,000 in any given year) and carried over through the four years of
the grant period and, with written approval of the Program Office, extended
for one additional year (without additional funds). Not more than 8% of
the total award may be deducted for overhead costs.
During the four-year scholarship term, program participants are required
to attend an annual meeting held in March. The meeting provides an opportunity
to present their research and for scientific collaboration and exchange
with other Pew Scholars.
