Project Description

The J&J WiSTEM²D Scholars Award Program will help develop female leaders and support innovation in the STEM²D disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing, Design)  by funding six women at critical points in their research careers through a Scholar’s Award.

Eligibility

The six inaugural awards will be available in 2018 and aim to fund one woman per area of STEM²D concentration in the early career stage where they have concluded their advanced degree training but are not at the level of tenure in their accredited university or design school institution. The early-career support is aimed to be a catalyst for women to become leaders in their organizations and fields. The program will help build a larger pool of highly-trained researchers to meet the growing needs of academia and industry.

Amount per award: $150,000
Duration of award: 3 Years
Number of awards: 6

UW may submit one application in each category:  (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing, Design)
