Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM2D Scholars Award -

Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM 2D Scholars Award is a $150,000 award to support women pursuing research in STEM 2D (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing & Design). WiSTEM 2 D Scholars Award aims to fuel the development of female STEM 2 D leaders and feed the STEM 2 D talent pipeline by awarding and sponsoring women at critical points in their research careers, in each of the STEM 2 D disciplines. Award recipients, one in each of the STEM 2 D disciplines, will gain access to ongoing funding over the course of 3 years, along with mentorship from STEM 2 D professionals.

The awards will fund one woman per discipline who has completed her advanced degree, who is working as an assistant or associate professor and who is not yet tenured at an accredited university or design institution.
