In partnership with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), L'Orėal USA will identify five female researchers who will be granted $60,000 each to advance their postdoctoral work.

 
Over the last 13 years, L'Oréal USA's For Women in Science fellowship program has awarded 65 postdoctoral women scientists over $3 million in grants to support them during critical stages of their careers.
 
The application period has now begun and will run until February 3, 2017. Applicants should have exceptional academic records, clearly articulated research proposals with the potential for scientific advancement and letters of recommendation from advisors.
