Celebrate and Support the Next Generation of Scientists
The Basic Sciences Division manages several awards, funding, and training opportunities that honor and support exceptional graduate and postdoctoral researchers. Become a part of that legacy by creating an endowment or award that supports outstanding researchers in the basic sciences.
Learn about each of these opportunities and how to nominate a deserving individual below:
Weintraub Graduate Student Award
The Harold M. Weintraub Graduate Student Award recognizes outstanding achievement during graduate studies in the biological sciences.
Fred Hutch established this annual award to honor the bold, creative, pioneering spirit embodied by Hal Weintraub. Weintraub also earned deep respect and admiration as a caring mentor and supportive colleague.
This award is open to all graduate students in the biological sciences.
It is supported by the Weintraub/Groudine Fellowship for Science and Human Disease.
The Basic Sciences Postdoctoral Fellowship Award
Training and developing the next generation of scientists is critical for future scientific and medical breakthroughs. By bringing new ideas and technical skills to their host laboratories, postdoctoral trainees drive technical and intellectual innovations, mentor students, and greatly contribute to the research of their host institutions.
This award is open to all early-career Postdoctoral Fellows in the Basic Sciences Division at Fred Hutch.
It is supported by the Elvira and Edward Hahn Endowment for Basic Science Fellows and other generous donors.
