US Chamber of Commerce 4th Annual Life Sciences Awards – April 5th Deadline!

I was recently contacted by Michael Billet of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Four years ago the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation began to provide monetary awards to individuals that have provided exemplary education and research in the Life Science Industry.   In looking through the past winners it's inspiring to see the dedication and contributions they've made and have been recognized for.

The purpose and vision for the awards are outlined on the Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation website:

“The U.S. Chamber of Commerce strongly supports American industry dedicated to protecting human health through the testing, manufacturing and marketing of biomedical products. As scientific innovation of biomedical products begins at the lab bench, the Chamber has formed a partnership with the Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation, a Federal government agency with the mission of promoting and encouraging new discoveries, to recognize, through seven monetary awards, one adult scientist; three secondary school educators; and three secondary school students who are judged to exemplify excellence in the field of life sciences”

Act quickly the nomination process closes on Tuesday, April 5th.

The 4th annual Life Sciences Awards event will take place on July 11th in Washington D.C. The program will reward approximately $95,000 in total to a prominent American scientist, three high school educators, and three high school students who are judged to exemplify excellence in the life sciences field. A link to the nomination process and the awards event are provided below:
