Description
The Pew Scholars Program in the Biomedical Sciences, also known as Pew Biomedical Scholars, supports investigators of outstanding promise whose science is relevant to advancing human health. Run by The Pew Charitable Trusts within its Advance Health & Well-Being portfolio, the program focuses on researchers in the first few years of their appointment at the assistant professor level.
Grants are made to selected academic institutions to support individual scholars’ independent research. The support is directed toward scholars’ own scientific work rather than a separate institutional initiative, with independent investigation and health-relevant biomedical science at the center of the program.
