Weizmann Women & Science Award

The Weizmann Women & Science Award is a biennial award established in 1994 to honor an outstanding woman scientist in the United States who has made significant contributions to the scientific community. The objective of the award, which includes a $25,000 research grant to the recipient, is to promote women in science, and to provide a strong role model to motivate and encourage the next generation of young women scientists.

The award was originally given by the American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science (ACWIS) and now it is awarded by the Weizmann Institute and the award ceremony takes place at the Weizmann Institute.

The Weizmann Institute is a center of basic interdisciplinary scientific research and graduate study, addressing crucial problems in technology, medicine and health, energy, agriculture and the environment.
