Annual Wiley Prize in Biomedical Sciences (Wiley Foundation)

About: The Wiley Prize in Biomedical Sciences is intended to recognize breakthrough research in pure or applied life science research that is distinguished by its excellence, originality, and impact on our understanding of biological systems and processes. The award may recognize a specific contribution or series of contributions that demonstrate the nominee's significant leadership in the development of research concepts or their clinical application. Particular emphasis will be placed on research which champions novel approaches and challenges accepted thinking in the biomedical sciences.

The Wiley Foundation invites and encourages the nomination of exceptional scientists or research teams whose research has set the standard for excellence.

Funding: This international award is presented annually and consists of a $50,000 prize and a luncheon in honor of the recipient.
