Public Health Research Grants | Gilead : Research Scholars The Research Scholars Program supports innovative research from emerging investigators around the world to incorporate new perspectives in our pursuits of scientific understanding and progress. We believe that a range of voices, new perspectives and innovative research topics are needed to advance scientific knowledge in areas of unmet medical need and create a healthier world.
Since 2008, Gilead’s Research Scholars Program has invested more than $36 million USD into meaningful research conducted by more than 300 scholars to help transform scientific understanding, address knowledge gaps and drive medical breakthroughs.
Award selections are made without discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, genetic information or characteristic, gender identity and expression. We are committed to supporting researchers and research projects addressing unmet patient needs and health inequities in order to build a more inclusive research landscape.
The program provides financial support to the institutions of 4 junior researchers for a 2-year period. Each award is funded up to $100,000 USD (inclusive of any indirect costs), to be paid in annual installments of up to $50,000 USD per year for 2 years.
Funding for the second year is contingent upon submission of a progress report by each junior researcher and approval by the Chair Scientific Review Committee which oversees the program. Recipients of these competitive awards under the program will be selected by a Committee comprised of leaders in the field of global public health (the "Scientific Review Committee" or the "Committee").
The Committee will review complete applications and select research proposals based on their scientific merit, feasibility, and innovation. Announcement of Award Recipients will be made at an awards acknowledgement session hosted by the Committee and senior representatives from Gilead. Applicants must meet the eligibility criteria in order to be considered for an award.
The Gilead RSP, or Research Scholars Program, really strives to meet an unmet need in research by funding investigators in settings that might not typically be funded, as well as funding new research that can lead to breakthroughs and innovative new interventions and clinical care. Funding is important for a couple of reasons.
It is recognition that your ideas are exciting and have the potential to change the world, and also it gives you contact with a network of people that can help your research career as well. View Program Specifics to discover more

The U.S. Government Policy for Stopping High-Risk Life Sciences Research, released July 28, 2026 under EO 14292 and implemented at NIH through NOT-OD-26-101, replaces mitigation with prohibition. It bans dangerous gain-of-function research outright, gates potential DGOF behind government-wide review, and creates International Research of Concern — a research-security regime wearing biosafety clothing. Penalties run to five-year debarment and False Claims Act exposure.
