The awards honor early career researchers who have demonstrated innovation and creativity.
Six young early career researchers at UC Berkeley have been awarded a prestigious Sloan Research Fellowship, granted annually to “honor exceptional researchers at U.S. and Canadian educational institutions whose creativity, innovation and research accomplishments make them stand out as the next generation of leaders,” according to an announcement issued today (Feb. 18).
The six are among 126 young researchers from 51 institutions across the U.S. and Canada to receive the fellowship this year. The fellowships have been awarded annually since 1955, and to date, UC Berkeley faculty have received 312, including this year’s winners.
