Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM2D Scholars Program 2022 for Young Women in STEM Research

Applications are invited for Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM²DScholars Program, an award to support women pursuing research in STEM²D.

Application Deadline: 30th September 2022 9AM HST (Honolulu Standard Time) 

Eligible Countries: All

About the Award: As a part of Johnson & Johnson‘s commitment to building a diverse WiSTEM²D Community, we are pleased to launch the Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM²DScholars Program, an award to support women pursuing research in STEM²D.

The J&J WiSTEM²D Scholars Award Program will help develop female leaders and support innovation in the STEM²D disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing, Design)  by funding six women at critical points in their research careers through a Scholar’s Award.

The six inaugural awards will be available in 2021 and aim to fund one woman per area of STEM²D concentration in the early career stage where they have concluded their advanced degree training but are not at the level of tenure in their accredited university or design school institution. The early-career support is aimed to be a catalyst for women to become leaders in their organizations and fields. The program will help build a larger pool of highly-trained researchers to meet the growing needs of academia and industry.

The J&J WiSTEM²D Scholars Award Program will play an influential role in achievements made in the areas of STEM²D and the future.

Fields of Study: The eligible STEM²D disciplines are: Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing and Design.
