NOSTER & Science Microbiome Prize
Note: This is not a limited submission and is being announced as a courtesy only.
The NOSTER & Science Microbiome Prize is an international award that recognizes innovative research by investigators who received their M.D., Ph.D, or M.D/Ph.D. in the last ten years, and are working on the functional attributes of the microbiota. The research can include any organism that has potential to contribute to our understanding of human or veterinary health and disease, or to guide therapeutic interventions. The winner and finalists will be chosen by a committee of independent scientists, chaired by a senior editor at Science. The top prize includes a USD 25,000 cash award, an online subscription to Science — and your winning essay published in Science.
Inquiries and Contact Information
Investigators who identify a grant, award or fellowship program that restricts the number of applications that can be submitted from an Institution should immediately contact their Chairperson, Associate Dean for Research (or Dean, if no ADR) and the Office of Research (see below) if they intend to prepare a response. Failure to do so, or to meet the deadlines for submission of pre-proposal, will preclude submission of the application through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
For general inquiries, or to request a listing of a limited submission opportunity that should be but is not already listed, please email us at limitedsubs@uw.edu.
