Rosalind Franklin Young Investigator Award

The Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation funds the Rosalind Franklin Young Investigator Award – a career development research award of $75,000 over three years - to a young woman geneticist from anywhere in the world. This unrestricted cash award is presented every three years. The successful candidate must be in her first one to three years of an independent faculty-level position in any area of genetics.

The award, which honors the groundbreaking contributions of Dr. Rosalind Franklin, is intended to inspire and support new generations of women in the field of genetics. It is administered by a joint committee appointed by the Genetics Society of America (GSA), the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG), and the Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation.
