The Grand Prize winner will be awarded a cash prize in the amount of $15,000 and be provided travel and accommodation to the award ceremony, if applicable. Additionally, the Grand Prize winner is invited to present a proposal for funding to the NOMIS board, as well as receive a 5-year digital subscription to Science, and have their winning essay published in Science, in print and online.
To be eligible, applicants must be younger than thirty-five and hold an MD, PhD, or MD/PhD at the time of entry. The award will be granted annually to one young scientist based on work done in the past 3 years.
