2016 Vilcek Prizes for Creative Promise in Biomedical Science

The Creative Promise Prizes are awarded to young immigrants who have demonstrated exceptional achievement early in their careers. This year, we are accepting applications in the categories of fine arts and biomedical science.

In the fine arts, immigrant artists across all media (who are not currently full-time students) are eligible to apply. In biomedical science, we seek foreign-born candidates who have earned a doctoral degree and who hold an independent, full-time position in a research or academic setting. All applicants must have been born overseas and be no older than 38 years old on December 31, 2016.

Three prizes are awarded in each category, and each prize includes a $50,000 unrestricted cash award. Visit the website for details, and help us spread the word! Deadline: June 10, 2016.
