RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – The Burroughs Wellcome Fund’s Board of Directors is pleased to announce the 2022 award recipients for the Career Awards at the Scientific Interface program.
The highly competitive Career Award at the Scientific Interfaces provides $500,000 over five years to support researchers in the quantitative sciences to pursue biological questions as they complete their postdoctoral training and transition to a faculty position. The intent is that this infusion of funds and early career support will allow these investigators to quickly establish an innovative research program that will allow them to become leaders in their respective fields.
“BWF is excited to announce the 2022 CASI awardees, whose projects span a wide variety of topics and disciplines,” said Dr. Kelly Rose, BWF Program Officer. “We look forward to supporting these talented scientists at the beginning of what we know will be fantastic careers filled with important discoveries at the scientific interface.”
