Applications are now open for the prestigious NOMIS & Science Young Explorer Award, an annual award that recognizes the outstanding achievements of early-career scientists who have conducted groundbreaking research connecting the social and life sciences. This award is a testament to the growing recognition of the importance of interdisciplinary research in addressing complex societal issues.
The NOMIS & Science Young Explorer Award is a joint initiative between the NOMIS Foundation and the renowned scientific journal, Science. It aims to celebrate and support the work of young scientists who have shown exceptional promise in bridging the gap between the social and life sciences. The award not only recognizes their achievements but also provides them with a platform to showcase their research and gain recognition from the wider scientific community.
The award is open to M.D., Ph.D., or M.D./Ph.D. scientists who are in the early stages of their careers. Applicants must have completed their doctoral degree within the last five years and must have conducted research that has made a significant contribution to the field of social and life sciences. The research must demonstrate a clear connection between the two disciplines and have the potential to impact society in a meaningful way.
The selection process for the award is rigorous and highly competitive. A panel of distinguished scientists from both the social and life sciences will evaluate the applications and select the most deserving candidate. The winner will receive a cash prize of $30,000 and will have their research published in Science, providing them with a global platform to share their findings.
The NOMIS & Science Young Explorer Award has been instrumental in recognizing and promoting the work of young scientists who are breaking new ground in their respective fields. Past winners have gone on to achieve great success in their careers and have made significant contributions to their fields of study.
One such example is Dr. Maria Rodriguez, who won the award in 2018 for her research on the impact of social media on mental health. Her groundbreaking study shed light on the negative effects of excessive social media use on young adults and has led to the development of interventions to promote healthy social media habits. Dr. Rodriguez’s work has been widely recognized and has had a significant impact on public health policies.
The award not only recognizes the achievements of young scientists but also provides them with the necessary support to continue their research. The cash prize can be used to further their studies, attend conferences, or purchase equipment, allowing them to take their research to the next level.
The NOMIS & Science Young Explorer Award is a testament to the growing recognition of the importance of interdisciplinary research in addressing complex societal issues. By bridging the gap between the social and life sciences, these young scientists are paving the way for a better understanding of the world and finding solutions to some of the most pressing challenges we face.
