Gruber Foundation Fellowship in Astrophysics 2026 (up to $25,000)

What it covers

• The total grant (US$ 75,000) will be divided typically between three independent awardees (US$ 25,000 each). • The grant will be paid directly to the recipient(s). • The proposed budget should cover only the period for which the applicant has confirmed employment at the time of application. • The fellowship cannot be used to extend an existing postdoctoral position beyond the confirmed period of employment. • A small portion of the grant (up to 10%) may be used to supplement salary if the host institution fully covers all applicable salary-related costs (pensions, health insurance, etc.), subject to approval by the IAU General Secretary. A detailed justification must be provided.
