Funding
Awards will provide salary support, benefits (including health insurance) and $5,000 for research-related and travel expenses. Each award is for two years and the second year will be released upon demonstration of academic/research productivity and career development progression (as evidenced by successful implementation of a mentoring plan).
PPSP Awardees must be appointed into the Post Doctoral Scholar position title (Job Code 8806) at The Ohio State University with a minimum salary of $61,008 per year and a university A&P benefit rate (FY25 rate: 36.1%). No exception will be made to this process this year. Postdocs participating in this program must be hired within departments at Ohio State and be considered employees of Ohio State.
Each year:
- The Office of the President will provide $55,079 to be used towards the salary and benefits and an additional $5,000 is provided to the PPSP scholar to support their research and professional development activities during the year.
- The sponsor college, hiring unit, and/or faculty mentor(s) must guarantee to cover the remaining balance of the salary and benefits. With FY25 benefit rates for A&P staff (36.1%), and a minimum salary of $61,008, this amount that must be covered is $27,953.
Please make sure to discuss the funding plan with your college liaison before submitting the form of intent.
