The pre-proposal deadline is *September 4th, 2012 at 4pm*. There is no limit to the number of applicants from Harvard. These awards are intended to foster the early career development of researchers with backgrounds in the physical/mathematical/computational sciences and engineers whose work addresses biological questions and who are dedicated to pursuing a career in academic research. Candidates cannot hold nor have accepted, either in writing or verbally, a faculty appointment as a tenure-track assistant professor at the time of application - both preproposal and full application. *Candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree* in one of the fields of *mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science, statistics, or engineering*. Exceptions will be made only if the applicant can demonstrate significant expertise in one of these areas, evidenced by publications, undergraduate major, or masters degree. To determine your eligibility, please go to http://www.bwfund.org/pages/568/Eligibility/ and take the eligibility quiz. Successful completion of the quiz will take you directly to the pre-proposal application. For a synopsis of the program, please see the attached announcement.
