2022 Vilcek Prizes for Creative Promise in Biomedical Science
The Vilcek Foundation will award three Creative Promise Prize of $50,000 each to young, immigrant biomedical scientists who demonstrate outstanding early achievement. Applications are open through June 11, 2021.
This half-day conference aims to raise awareness and encourage action around systemic health disparities that exist across racial, ethnic, cultural, and social groups, while also recognizing interventions and research across the Department of Medicine centered on health equity and advanced by our community members who have been historically underrepresented in medicine. The event brings together stakeholders from all divisions and ranks, providing a platform to share compelling new findings, facilitate scientific exchange, and identify opportunities for collaboration. The conference includes poster presentations, a case competition, a keynote address, and a narrative pre-event. All are welcome to attend.
