The Searle Scholars Program is a career development award made annually to support 15 young faculty in biomedical research and chemistry at US universities and research centers. The goal of the award is to support to exceptional young scientists who are at the beginning of their independent research careers and are working in the fields of medicine, chemistry, and/or biological sciences.[1]

History Of Awards

The award was established in 1980 by a donation from trusts established by John G. and Frances C. Searle.[1] John Searle had served as President of G. D. Searle & Company, a pharmaceutical company known for developing the first female birth control pill.[2] The program is funded through the Chicago Community Trust and administered by the Kinship Foundation.[1]
