Presidential Young Investigator Award

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Presidential Young Investigator Award (PYI) is a former science award that was awarded by the US federal government's National Science Foundation between 1984 and 1991 . It was superseded by the NSF Young Investigator (NYI) Awards and the Presidential Faculty Fellows Program (PFF).

PYI awardees received a minimum of $ 25,000 annually from the NSF over a five-year period; with matching funds from industry, the sum could rise to as much as $ 100,000 per year. In times of tight budgets, the program came under fire in 1990.
