SLAS Graduate Education Fellowship Grant

The SLAS Graduate Education Fellowship Grant provides funding to educational institutions on behalf of graduate students conducting research related to high-throughput screening, quantitative biosciences and/or drug discovery. SLAS awards one grant per year of up to $50,000 per year, payable for up to two consecutive years. Awarded funds must provide a student stipend (at least 70% of the grant) and may cover a cost-of-education allowance and tuition/fee exemptions. Recipients are expected to produce an original manuscript, submit it to a peer-reviewed journal, and present the research at an international scientific conference.

Student stipend (minimum 70% of the grant paid monthly), cost-of-education allowance (up to 30% of the grant), and tuition/fee exemption for the student; up to $50,000 per year for up to two years.

Educational organizations and academic institutions that offer graduate degree programs related to high-throughput screening, quantitative biosciences and/or drug discovery may apply on behalf of enrolled graduate students. Student candidates are not eligible to apply directly; the application must come from the candidate student’s educational organization and the student must be enrolled in and conduct research within a qualifying graduate degree program.

An eligible educational organization applies on behalf of a graduate student via the SLAS application site; applications are reviewed for completeness by the SLAS Professional Team and evaluated by the SLAS Education Fellowship Grant Panel and Awards and Grants Advisory Committee for final selection.
