The Pew Scholars Program in the Biomedical Sciences provides funding to young investigators of outstanding promise in science relevant to the advancement of human health. The program makes grants to selected academic institutions to support the independent research of outstanding individuals who are in their first few years of their appointment at the assistant professor level.

The current grant level is $240,000 – $60,000 per year for a four-year period. In 2010, Pew will name 17 Pew Scholars. For the 26th series of awards, to be made in 2010, one nomination will be invited from the invited participating institutions. Participating institutions have been selected on the basis of the scope of their work in biomedical research and recommended to The Pew Charitable Trusts by the National Advisory Committee of the Program. The deadline for applications for the 2010 awards is November 2, 2009.
