Research Scholars Program The Research Scholars Program supports innovative research from emerging investigators around the world to incorporate new perspectives in our pursuit of scientific understanding and progress. We believe that new, diverse voices and research topics are needed to advance scientific knowledge in areas of unmet medical need and create a healthier world.
Since its launch in 2008, the Research Scholars Program has supported meaningful research by high-caliber emerging investigators to help transform scientific understanding, address knowledge gaps and drive medical breakthroughs in the following therapeutic areas: The Research Scholars Program awards provide two years of financial support to junior faculty researchers.
Each award is funded depending on country and region, paid as two annual installments directly to the scholar’s institution. Funding for the second year is contingent upon submission of a progress report and approval by the chair of the program’s scientific review committee. We also offer a Public Health program for junior researchers across low- to middle-income countries as part of our commitment to advancing global health.
