Nominations now open for the Montrone-Seigel Prize in biomedical sciences
The
Montrone-Seigel Prize in Biomedical Sciences will honor outstanding investigators who are making a difference in human health. This juried award recognizes breakthroughs in basic, clinical, or translational research led by scientists aged 52 or younger.
The award comes with a $100,000 honorarium, although government employees may be restricted in terms of cash prizes. Nominators can check with candidates, or contact the NIH Ethics Office, to determine eligibility for cash prizes.
This prize is made possible by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH), based on the generous contributions of two board members, Paul Montrone, PhD, and Fred Seigel. The FNIH celebrates, funds, and trains current and future biomedical researchers.
