The AstraZeneca Foundation launches the 6th Young Researcher Awards in collaboration with the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII). This initiative seeks to promote the professional development of young scientists in the field of health through the development of research projects on the following four thematic priorities: “Oncology, Precision Medicine and Immuno-Oncology”, “Respiratory and Immunology”, “Cardiovascular, Kidney and Metabolism” and “Vaccines and Immunotherapies”.

The main objective is to facilitate the achievement of transferable results that improve the health of citizens and generate greater scientific knowledge through the promotion of synergies between new research groups, the latter being the main novelty of this year’s call. This call includes the concession of an Honorary Award for Excellence in Scientific Trajectory, which will be destined to further encourage the award-winning researcher’s line of research.

This initiative seeks to promote research between research groups from different autonomous communities and is aimed at networks made up of research groups that present projects of a strong clinical and translational nature in four thematic areas of priority for health.

Candidates can submit their applications until 8 September 2022. More information can be found here. 

This is, undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the promotion of young Spanish scientists.
