BII & Science Translational Medicine Prize for Innovations in Women´s Health

The BII & Science Translational Medicine Prize for Innovations in Women’s Health aims to recognize researchers who have developed innovative advances with translational potential to impact women’s health globally.

Contributions within any area of women’s health* will be considered. These may cover work in areas of female-specific conditions including maternal health and chronic gynecological diseases, reproductive health including contraception and infertility affecting all persons, or elucidation of sex- and gender-specific approaches to conditions that affect women differently or disproportionately.

We encourage researchers who may have made significant advances in addressing questions in these fields at the intersection of translational research and clinical applications, or who are developing new drugs, diagnostic approaches, medical devices, or healthcare technologies, to apply. Researchers who have advanced development of new solutions that can be readily deployed in low- and middle-income countries are encouraged to apply.

Women’s Health Initiative

BII’s Women’s Health Initiative aims to strengthen the European ecosystem for innovative translational research and start-ups that address the high medical unmet needs within women’s health.

Parts of the Women’s Health Initiative activities are supported by a grant from Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

As part of this joint initiative, BII will conduct a thorough landscape analysis and identify leading research and start-up opportunities for women’s health, with the potential for future funding from BII and partners.

BII will also undertake community-building and awareness-creating activities with selected key partners within the ecosystem.

BII & Science Prize for Innovation

Behind every life-changing solution is an entrepreneurial scientist. A creative mind who proved an idea in the lab and dared to carry it out in the world.

To encourage more scientists to translate their research, BioInnovation Institute (BII) & Science collaborate to host an annual award. Through the BioInnovation Institute & Science Prize for Innovation, the editors of Science seek to recognize bold researchers who are asking fundamental questions at the intersection of the life sciences and entrepreneurship.

Our three winners will have their essays published in Science magazine and will be invited into BII’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. In addition, the Grand Prize winner will receive a prize of USD 25,000 and each runner-up will receive USD 10,000 at a grand award show celebration in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Science has been at the center of important scientific discovery since its founding in 1880—with seed money from Thomas Edison. Today, Science continues to publish the very best in research across the sciences, with articles consistently ranking among the most cited worldwide.

The Science family of journals is published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s oldest and largest general science organization. The nonprofit AAAS serves 10 million people through primary memberships and affiliations with some 262 scientific societies and academies.
