Research Corporation for Science Advancement has awarded $800,000 to 11 Cottrell Scholars through its RCSA Bridge Awards. This emergency initiative will help stabilize strong research programs that have experienced disruptions due to abrupt changes to their federal funding. 

“These researchers are pursuing exciting and productive research programs that are, importantly, training the next generation of scientists,” said RCSA President Eric Isaacs. “The Bridge awards provide critical continuity to outstanding early-career scientists doing high-potential research at a time in their careers when creativity and momentum are so important.” 

The need-based opportunity for one-year awards of up to $100K each was open to scientists with appointments at U.S. academic institutions who either received a Cottrell Scholar Award in 2016 or later or are Holland Award recipients whose first academic appointment was in 2013 or later.
