Johnson & Johnson Women in STEM²D Scholars Award Program 2019 ($150,000 award)

Deadline: September 25, 2018

Applications are open for the Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM²D Scholars AwardProgram 2019

.
This is a $150,000 award to support women pursuing research in STEM^2 D
(Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing & Design).

The Johnson & Johnson Scholars Award Program aims to fuel the
development of female STEM^2 D leaders and feed the STEM^2 D talent
pipeline by awarding and sponsoring women at critical points in their
research careers, in each of the STEM^2 D disciplines. The program is
designed to help build a larger pool of highly-trained researchers to
meet the growing needs of academia and industry

The awards will fund one woman per discipline who has completed her
advanced degree, who is working as an assistant professor and who is not
yet tenured at an accredited university or design institution. The goal
is to fuel the research passion of the awarded women and inspire career
paths in their respective STEM^2 D fields.

Award recipients, one in each of the STEM^2 D disciplines, will gain
access to ongoing funding over the course of 3 years, along with
mentorship from STEM^2 D professionals. By offering these awards,
Johnson & Johnson hopes to play an influential role in STEM^2 D
breakthroughs in the future.
