Now in its eleventh year, the Young Scholars program has fostered the early career development of 49 young biomedical researchers who have the potential to become our national's research leaders. The Distinguished Young Scholars program seeks to support groundbreaking and creative research that addresses the fundamental mechanisms of human disease in pioneering or emerging fields of science. The Foundation's goals are to provide top young scientists with an opportunity to investigate promising and unproven new ideas which would be difficult to fund through traditional sources, and to enable these scientists to make a significant impact in their field at a time in their career when they are ready to engage in some of their most creative and innovative work. |
