Research Excellence Awards
We proudly recognize the achievements of our Scholars at the Annual Awards Gala, which concludes the NIH Global Doctoral Program Annual Research Colloquium. Through donor and endowed support, we present Research Excellence Awards to Scholars and honor Outstanding Mentors at the NIH and partner universities.
Each summer, we also recognize Alumni through the Outstanding Recent Graduate Award and the Distinguished Alumni Award.
If you or your organization are interested in sponsoring an existing award—or creating a new one—please contact us at awards@ibra.org.
