Research Excellence Awardees
Beginning in 2000, the Foundation's board of directors chose to honor young scientists whose research is judged to be exceptionally innovative. These awards have varied in value from $10,000 to $25,000 over time. We salute these investigators whose work will make important contributions to scientific knowledge in the years to come.
