Funding

  • In 2023-2024, the Zuckerman Institute jointly with the Council for higher Education allots up to $500,000 per Zuckerman Faculty Scholar, as long as this amount is matched at the same time by the host university.
  • This support will partially cover expenses such as the purchase of special equipment, construction or renovation of labs, and providing fellowships to graduate or postdoctoral students for research support.

Research funds: Each Zuckerman Faculty Scholar will be entitled to a fixed annual amount of research funding for a total of four years, directly controlled by the scholarship recipient:

  • For a $500,000 scholarship, each Faculty Scholar will be allocated $7,500 per year to use for academic research needs.
  • For a $350,000 scholarship, each Faculty Scholar will be allocated $5,000 per year to use for academic research needs.

Faculty Scholars will be expected to account in the usual academic manner for the funds they use, as per the requirements of each hosting university.
