Since 2011, the Hellman Fellows Fund has provided close to 60 ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ³ÉÈËAPP assistant professors with much-needed research support in the form of seed funding. The prestigious Hellman Fellowship has launched countless careers at ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ³ÉÈËAPP and across the UC system.
Now, thanks to a generous new $3.5 million gift from the Hellman family, ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ³ÉÈËAPP will permanently establish the ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ³ÉÈËAPP Society of Hellman Fellows starting in 2021. The endowment allows the program to continue in perpetuity, while affording the campus more flexibility in funding early-career research.
