Program areas at RCSA

Scialog supports Research, intensive dialog and community building to address scientific challenges of global significance. Within each multi-year initiative, scialog fellows collaborate in high-risk discovery Research on untested ideas and communicate their progress in annual closed conferences. Through the give-and-take of community building, it is the foundation's hope that scialog fellows grow better equipped to tackle ever more challenging multidisciplinary problems. Scialog is intended to: 1) support early career faculty to expand Research in a focused area of high scientific importance; 2) encourage scientists to form multidisciplinary teams to tackle these critical challenges, and; 3) help transition awardees to obtain further funding for their innovative ideas. In 2022 six scialog conferences were held at which grant proposals were received for the awards made.
The cottrell scholar award develops outstanding chemistry, physics and astronomy teacher-scholars at colleges and universities who are recognized by their scientific communities for the quality and innovation of their Research programs and their academic leadership skills. This award provides entry into a national community of outstanding scholar-educators who produce significant Research and education outcomes. 24 cottrell scholar awards and 4 collaborative awards were given in 2022.
In 2022 rcsa awarded funds to 10 cottrell scholars to support the salary/stipend of a recently graduated senior working in Research under the supervision of a cottrell scholar.
