Review Committee selected by The Medical Foundation, at Health Resources in Action, to decide upon the most qualified candidates.
? Eligibility Requirements
Research Project Criteria
The Jeffress Trust awards support high impact, innovative projects that integrate computational and quantitative scientific methodologies across a broad range of scientific and engineering disciplines. While state-of-the-art computational methodologies and/or mathematical modeling must be employed, they are not required to be novel. However, high-impact, innovative and creative applications are highly encouraged.
Eligible research areas for Jeffress support include astronomy, biosciences, chemistry, computer sciences, engineering, environmental sciences, material science, mathematics and physics. Research in social, economic and behavioral sciences, including psychology, are currently outside the scope of Jeffress funding.
