Applications call for the WiSTEM2D Scholars Award Program.

The Johnson & Johnson Scholars Award Program aims to fuel the development of female STEM2D leaders and feed the STEM2D talent pipeline by awarding and sponsoring women at critical points in their careers, in each of the STEM2D disciplines: Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing, and Design.

See Nieman Fellowships Visiting Program 

Summary

Moreover, the WiSTEM2D Scholars Award Program will fund one woman per STEM2D discipline who has completed her advanced degree, who is working as an assistant professor (or global equivalent faculty position), and who is not yet tenured at an accredited university, institution, or design school. In addition to that, the goal is to fuel the research passion of the awarded women and inspire career paths in their respective STEM2D fields.  Johnson & Johnson is looking to identify global women leading in both their research fields and leading as mentors, to be a vision for girls and other women in STEM2D.
