New Investigator Award – Submission Deadline December 22nd
The ASHRAE New Investigator Award (NIA) assists new university faculty members to develop research capabilities in HVAC&R related fields. The COVID pandemic caused considerable disruption to academic scholarly activities and graduate research when campuses were evacuated, and lab and classroom activities were restricted. The NIA program was not funded for two years when income from the ASHRAE Expo was unavailable. ASHRAE recognizes that some active members that could have been viable NIA candidates may have “timed out” of their 5-year eligibility window during the two years that the NIA was not funded. To somewhat compensate for the COVID disruptions to academic progress and NIA unavailability, a modified eligibility schedule for the NIA will be followed.
PhD/Start Year NIA Deadline Date
2016 December 2022
2017 December 2023
2018 December 2024
2019 December 2024
2020 December 2025
2021 December 2026
2022 December 2026 (regular 5 year window resumes)
Because of the late adjustment to this eligibility criteria, the NIA application deadline for this year only will be extended until December 22, 2022.
