The Rita Allen Foundation Scholars Program provides grants to support research scientists in the early stages of their careers. Fields of research are cancer, immunology, and neuroscience. The Rita Allen Foundation reviews grant proposals by invitation only. Individuals chosen will be designated Rita Allen Foundation Scholars and the affiliated institutions will receive financial support from the Rita Allen Foundation of up to $110,000 annually, for a period of up to five years.

 

Each candidate must:

  • Be nominated by a selected institution
  • Have completed their training and provided persuasive evidence of distinguished achievement or extraordinary promise in research in one of the relevant fields
  • Be in the early stages of their career; most likely, this will mean a recent appointment at a faculty

 

The UW SOM can only submit 1 application to move forward.

Inquiries and Contact Information

Investigators who identify a grant, award or fellowship program that restricts the number of applications that can be submitted from an Institution should immediately contact their Chairperson, Associate Dean for Research (or Dean, if no ADR) and the Office of Research (see below) if they intend to prepare a response. Failure to do so, or to meet the deadlines for submission of pre-proposal, will preclude submission of the application through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
