Apply for the 2023 Michelson Prizes
The $150,000 Michelson Prizes are awarded annually to support early-career investigators working to advance human immunology, vaccine discovery, and immunotherapy research for major global diseases.
We are now accepting applications for the 2023 Michelson Prizes: Next Generation Grants. Deadline for submission is June 11, 2023. To find out more and apply the Prizes, please visit our application portal.
The 2023 Michelson Prizes are looking for research aimed at tackling the current roadblocks that exist in human vaccine development and expanding our limited understanding of key immune processes that are fundamental to successful vaccine and immunotherapy development. Reviewers will be looking for research that is highly innovative and impactful, with the potential to be applied across many diseases.
While the Michelson Prizes are focused on research in the fields of immunology, vaccine, and immunotherapy discovery, applicants from the full spectrum of related disciplines, including clinical research, biochemistry, molecular biology, protein engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence/machine learning, biophysics, nanotechnology, etc., are encouraged to apply.
