community of academics including visiting scholars plus leading research
facilities equipped with cutting-edge instrumentation all on an urban campus

within their field plus career development workshops aimed at young
researchers, and will be provided with a mentoring committee. Funding is
provided in one year terms renewable for up to three years.
