The W.M. Keck Foundation established the Distinguished Young Scholars in Medical Research Program to give the nation's most promising young scientists the resources they need to pursue potentially breakthrough research projects in biomedicine. Since 1999, the program has awarded 49 grants of up to $1 million to each of five junior faculty investigators at leading research universities and institutions annually. Originally conceived as a five-year project, the program has been renewed through 2013. Nominations from institutions are accepted on an invitation-only basis.
