Michelson Prizes:
Next Generation Grants

Supporting the next generation of innovators in human immunology

Applications for the 2023 Michelson Prizes are Closed.

We are no longer accepting applications for the 2023 Michelson Prizes: Next Generation Grants. Candidates will be notified of the status of their application in September 2023.

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.

The 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.
