RICHLAND, Wash. - 3 scientists from the Pacific Northwest National Lab will gain an Early Career Research Award from the D.O.E., including backing under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for five-year research grants. All 3 researchers will gain grants for at least $500,000 a year to cover year-round salary plus research expenses.
The 3 PNNL researchers receiving this award and their grant titles are:
Wendy Shaw, "Catalyst Biomimics: A Novel Approach in Catalyst Design," funded by the Office of Basic Energy Sciences,
William Gustafson, "Reducing Scale Dependence of Physics Parameterization for Global Cloud Resolving Climate Models," funded by the Office of Biological and Environmental Research, and
Uljana Mayer, "Targeted Imaging Probes for Systems Biology," funded by the Office of Biological and Environmental Research.
As part of the DOE's new Early Career Research Program, this new effort is designed to bolster the nation's scientific workforce by providing support to exceptional researchers during the crucial early years, when many scientists do their most formative work.
To be eligible for an award, a researcher must be an untenured, tenure-track assistant professor at a U.S. academic institution or a full-time employee at a D.O.E. national laboratory, who received a Ph.D. within the past 10 years.
Awardees were selected from a pool of 1,750 university- and national laboratory-based applicants. Selection was based on peer review by outside scientific experts.
