Postdocs & Early Career Faculty Funding Opportunities

Limited: 2026 Packard Fellowships for Science and Engineering

The Packard Fellows program is for highly creative young faculty researchers in the natural, physical sciences and engineering during their first three years as faculty. According to the foundation, Packard Fellows are inquisitive, passionate scientists and engineers who take a creative approach to their research, dare to think big, and follow new ideas wherever they lead. The foundation emphasizes support for innovative PI-led research rather than extensions or components of large-scale, ongoing research programs.

Candidates must be faculty members who are eligible to serve as principal investigators and are in the first three years of their faculty careers: that is, whose initial faculty appointments began no earlier than May 31, 2023, and no later than May 31, 2026. Eligible disciplines: physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, astronomy, computer science, earth science, ocean science, and all branches of engineering.

UCI may submit only two nominations; therefore, interested applicants should submit an application via UCI Review.

Deadline: March 2, 2026
 
 
Limited: William T. Grant Foundation Scholars Program
The William T. Grant Foundation has announced its annual Scholars Program, which supports promising early-career researchers from any discipline whose research contributes to a society that values young people and helps them reach their potential in the face of inequality by race, ethnicity, economic standing and immigrant origin status. The foundation is particularly interested in interdisciplinary research that increases understanding of young people, ages 5 to 25, in the United States.

Eligibility: Employed in a career-ladder position and within seven years of receipt of their terminal degree at the time of application. Apply via UCI Review.  

Deadline: March 16, 2026
 
 
Robert A. Winn Excellence in Clinical Trials: Career Development Award (Winn CDA)
The Robert A. Winn Excellence in Clinical Trials: Career Development Award (Winn CDA) is a rigorous 2-year program designed to train early-career investigator-physicians to design and implement clinical trials that engage more communities. Through structured education and mentorship, Winn CDA Scholars become community-oriented clinical trialists who have the skills and expertise to transform the ways that communities conduct research and deliver care. Current Winn CDA clinical research areas include cancer, cardiovascular and cardio-metabolic disease, and neuropsychiatry.

The Winn Career Development Award (Winn CDA) provides $120,000 annually for two years, intended to cover a portion of the scholar’s salary — approximately 40% of their time — allowing them the protected space needed to fully engage in the program’s intensive training and research activities.

Deadline: May 4, 2026
