EARLY CAREER INVESTIGATOR FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
A number of federal and non-federal sponsors provide funding specifically for their interpretation of Early Career Investigators. The Faculty Research Development Office has compiled a collection of such programs below. Please feel free to sift through them using either the keyword search or sort options to find the best funding opportunities uniquely for you.
At this time, this page is being updated to include all the previously available programs. Thank you for your patience. If you find something that is not already included in the list once it has been effectively updated, we would appreciate your help. Please send that opportunity to Stephanie Tofighi at sctofighi@unm.edu, and she'll add it to the list.
