Description
The Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation Graduate Fellowship in Organic Chemistry is an annual award supporting outstanding graduate students in U.S. chemistry doctoral programs. The fellowship aims to foster excellence in organic synthesis research by providing substantial financial support for students in their third or fourth year of PhD study. The program emphasizes innovation, academic achievement, and leadership, and encourages applications from those pursuing synthetic methodology, natural product synthesis, computational chemistry, or chemical biology tool development. Selected fellows are also invited to present their research at a Bristol Myers Squibb-sponsored symposium.
