Hellman Fellows Program

To: UCSC Faculty

From: Herbie Lee, Interim Vice Provost for Academic Affairs

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that UC Santa Cruz has been invited to join the Hellman Fellows Program. We are grateful to the Hellman Family Foundation for providing this funding.

This program provides research support to junior faculty in all fields of study, and can help bridge funding streams between start-up packages and the later flow of competitive external funding. Eligible faculty are those at the rank of assistant professor who have completed two or three years of service at that rank at UCSC as of July 1, 2011. Faculty who will be considered for tenure in 2011-12 are not eligible.

Applications are due Monday, May 2, by 5 p.m. and should be emailed to vpaa@ucsc.edu. More information on the program, including application details, is available at:
