Cottrell Plus Awards extend RCSA’s commitment to members of the Cottrell Scholar community throughout their careers, a unique aspect of the program. These awards and initiatives are aimed at advancing the skills, knowledge, and experience of Cottrell Scholars and Holland Award recipients toward attaining leadership roles in their institutions, and support the research and training of students working in their labs or groups.

The Cottrell Plus Awards portfolio offers several opportunities to Cottrell Scholars and Holland Awardees, including:

• Cottrell STAR (Science Teaching and Research)

• Cottrell IMPACT 

• Cottrell SEED (Singular Exceptional Endeavors of Discovery)
