MMRF/HVP Call for Applications – Michelson Prizes: Next Generation Grants
The Michelson Medical Research Foundation (MMRF), and the Human Vaccines Project (HVP) open the Michelson Prizes: Next Generation Grants for applications. The 2022 Michelson Prizes is accepting applications related to Human Immunology and Vaccine Research, including research aimed at tackling the current roadblocks in human vaccine development and expanding our limited understanding of key immune processes that are fundamental to successful vaccine and immunotherapy development. The Prizes are intended to support individuals early in their careers who possess novel ideas and who have significant potential to execute these ideas to affect transformative change in their respective fields. Research should incorporate multiplexed and non-traditional approaches from outside the fields of immunology and vaccinology and demonstrate a high degree of novelty and creative thinking. The successful applicants will clearly articulate a vision that challenges current dogma and demonstrates an ability to look beyond convention to make a lasting impact on vaccine and immunotherapy research.
Eligibility:
- 35 years or younger on June 26, 2022..
- Early career independent investigators, postdoctoral fellows, clinical fellows (including residents and interns), and other researchers currently in training positions.
