<p>Each year the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation awards fellowship grants to the brightest young scientific researchers across the country. </p>

<p>“These awards are intended to enhance the careers of the very best young faculty members in specified fields of science. Currently a total of 116 fellowships are awarded annually in seven fields: chemistry, computational and evolutionary molecular biology, computer science, economics, mathematics, neuroscience, and physics.”</p>

<p>While MIT with its heavy focus on the sciences has had the most impressive showing over the years, Princeton is not far behind. This is particularly remarkable given the small size of Princeton’s faculty compared to other leading institutions.</p>

<p>This year, the following U.S. institutions had three or more fellows.</p>

<p>7 MIT</p>

<p>6 Harvard
6 Northwestern</p>

<p>5 Princeton

<p>Sam, thank you and good catch. I see that I left Northwestern off the list for the cumulative figures over the last three years. Northwestern's achievements in this fellowship are impressive, especially this year!</p>

<p>Both Harvard and Yale have now made public announcements about their Sloan Fellows. MIT, Northwestern and Princeton have not yet done so. These are remarkable young researchers who have often gone on to win Nobel prizes and are great assets to the universities with which they are associated.</p>
