Dear Colleagues,
I hope you all are having a good week. Please see below for the call for applications for
the WT Grant Scholars Program. This program targets early career faculty for 5-year
research and mentoring plans. It is a great opportunity for our early career faculty and
will follow the internal limited submissions process. Please reach out to me or Iwan with
any questions or for assistance with your application. Also, if you would like for us to
reach out to someone who you think would be a great fit for this award, let us know.
Thanks!

I’ve attached a list of awardees since 2018 with information about their institutional
affiliation, research expertise, and work funded by WT Grant. Some of the common
departments are education, sociology, public health, and psychology. Economics, law, and
business also appear in the list.
March 23 – Applicants must submit a notice of intent to
limitedsubmissions@utsa.edu<mailto:limitedsubmissions@utsa.edu>.
April 6 – internal proposals due. Instructions will be sent to applicants from limited
submissions no later than March 25.
April 20 – a decision to applicants for the limited submission.
July 6 – proposal due to W.T. Grant
From the funder:
Eligible Applicants
Applicants must be nominated by their institutions. Major divisions (e.g., College of Arts
and Sciences, Medical School) of an institution may nominate only one applicant each year.
In addition to the eligibility criteria below, deans and directors of those divisions
should refer to the Selection Criteria (pp. 32-36) to aid them in choosing their nominees.
Applicants of any discipline are eligible.
Applicants must have received their terminal degree within seven years of submitting their
application. We calculate this by adding seven years to the date the doctoral degree was
conferred. In medicine, the seven-year maximum is dated from the completion of the first
residency.
Applicants must be employed in career-ladder positions. For many applicants, this means
holding a tenure-track position in a university. Applicants in other types of
organizations should be in positions in which there is a pathway to advancement in a
research career at the organization and the organization is fiscally responsible for the
applicant’s position. The award may not be used as a post-doctoral fellowship.
Applicants outside the United States are eligible. As with U.S. applicants, they must
pursue research that has compelling policy or practice implications for youth in the
United States.
