L’Orėal USA is calling for applications for its 2017 Women in Science program. The annual award celebrates women’s achievements in science and includes a national fellowship program.

L’Orėal USA will once again partner with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) to identify five exceptional female researchers, who will be granted $60,000 each to advance their postdoctoral work. Winners are chosen for their scientific excellence, research potential and commitment to supporting women and girls in science.

“The L’Oréal USA For Women in Science program honors extraordinary women who represent the next generation of innovators and scientific leaders,” said Lauren Paige, Vice President of Public Affairs & Strategic Initiatives at L’Orėal USA. “L’Orėal is proud to recognize the great potential of female scientists and support their ongoing research and continued path toward discovery.”

The 2017 L’Orėal USA For Women in Science fellowship application period begins on November 28, 2016 and runs until February 3, 2017.
