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 Award Program 2019. This is a $150,000 award to support women pursuing research in STEM²D (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing & Design).

The Johnson & Johnson Scholars Award Program aims to fuel the development of female STEM²D leaders and feed the STEM²D talent pipeline by awarding and sponsoring women at critical points in their research careers, in each of the STEM²D 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 STEM²D fields.

Award recipients, one in each of the STEM²D disciplines, will gain access to ongoing funding over the course of 3 years, along with mentorship from STEM²D professionals. By offering these awards, Johnson & Johnson hopes to play an influential role in STEM²D breakthroughs in the future.
