Nature Research Awards for Inspiring Science and Innovating Science Due June 11th,2018
Two new Nature Research Awards: the Inspiring Science Award and the Innovating Science Award.
- The Inspiring Science Award celebrates an outstanding early career researcher who self-identifies as female
- The Innovating Science Award will honor an individual or organization who has driven initiatives to encourage girls or young women to engage with STEM subjects
The Inspiring Science Award welcomes nominations of exceptional scientists who self-identify as female and who are within 10 years of completing their PhD. We encourage nominations from around the globe and from all subject areas. Candidates should be nominatedby laboratory heads, department heads or someone else from their institute. This award is based on academic achievement, but our independent judging process and panel will ensure that those working in adverse circumstances or in regions where there is limited access to the scientific literature will not be unfairly disadvantaged.
The Innovating Science Award is open to everyone (individuals and groups) who works on projects or initiatives that encourage girls or young women to become more aware of, or engaged in, any STEM subject in any region around the world.
