The purpose of the Donald E. and Delia B. Baxter Foundation Faculty Scholar Program is to help prepare and support new investigators at the Assistant Professor level as they begin their careers. This early stage of career development is a critical period for a new researcher. During this period, new faculty require some form of support to develop preliminary data and build a research program to the point where they then may compete effectively for federal or other external funding. Awardees are expected to provide a written 2-page report in November 2027 for the Foundation and to attend the foundation’s luncheon during their 2027 visit.
