Simons Investigator in Aquatic Microbial Ecology Awards

The Simons Investigator in Aquatic Microbial Ecology Awards provide support to recently tenured, outstanding investigators in the field of microbial ecology in marine or natural freshwater systems to advance understanding through field studies, laboratory experiments, modeling or theory. The program aims to establish a new research direction or an innovative expansion of current work in microbial ecology or microbial biogeochemistry of natural aquatic systems.

Applicants must currently hold a tenured or equivalent independent position at a U.S. or Canadian institution.

Proposals must be submitted online through the Simons Award Manager (SAM). Use the SAM system to create and submit the application, including required attachments such as the Proposal Narrative and Biosketch, and to manage the submission process.
