Each receives an award of $300,000 in flexible funding to support their work over the next three years.<br><br>The Searle Scholars Program makes grants to selected universities and research centers to support the independent research of exceptional young faculty in the biomedical sciences and chemistry who have recently been appointed as assistant professors on a tenure-track appointment. The Program’s Scientific Director appoints an Advisory Board of eminent scientists who choose the Scholars based on rigorous standards aimed at finding the most creative talent interested in pursuing an academic research career. This year, 187 applications were considered from nominations by 133 universities and research institutions. <br><br>“Our Scientific Advisory Board has selected 15 outstanding early career scientists, whose work spans a broad range of disciplines in the biological, chemical and engineering sciences, and that have the potential to change the directions of their fields,” remarked Milan Mrksich, Scientific Director for the Searle Scholars Program. The topics these scientists are pursuing include:</p><ul class="wp-block-list" style="margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80)"><li style="margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0">How can the immune system be modulated to more efficiently respond to cancer cells?</li> <li style="margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0">How is the wiring of the brain, and associated patterns of neural activity, designed to control complex movements?</li> <li style="margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0">Can advances in computational methods and artificial intelligence accelerate the development of drugs for the most challenging diseases?</li> <li style="margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0">Can an understanding of the evolutionary origins of viruses lead to strategies to develop anti-virals for strains yet to emerge?</li></ul><p>Since 1981, 692 scientists have been named Searle Scholars. Including this year, the Program has awarded more than $157 million. Eighty-five Searle Scholars have been inducted into the National Academy of Sciences. Twenty Scholars have been recognized with a MacArthur Fellowship, known as the “genius grant,” and two Searle Scholars have been awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. </p><div style="height:100px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div><h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><strong>About the Searle Scholars Program </strong></h3><div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div><p>The Searle Scholars Program supports high risk, high reward research across a broad range of scientific disciplines. Grants are $300,000 for a three-year term with $100,000 payable each year of the grant.
