Pew Scholars Program in the Biomedical Sciences
The Pew Charitable Trusts
Flexible support for early-career basic biomedical research, awarded on scientific excellence rather than disease area. Nomination is by institution.
Cardiolipin and mitochondrial biology programs are eligible. Because selection is field-agnostic, the application competes on the science rather than on rare-disease relevance.
Nomination only โ one nominee per invited institution, chosen through internal limited-submission competitions. Assistant professors running an independent lab (regular appointment), first appointed no earlier than ~3 years before the cycle; maximum two application attempts.
Nomination runs through each institution's limited-submissions office in spring. For the 2027 class: institutional nominations were due May 13, 2026, nominee applications Sept 3, 2026.
