The Michelson Prizes

Next Frontier Advisors works with the Michelson Medical Research Foundation to award the Michelson Prizes: Next Generation Grants. The $150,000 annual awards are designed to support early-career investigators working to advance human immunology, vaccine discovery, and immuno-therapy research for major global diseases.

The Michelson Prizes: Next Generation Grants look for applications related to human immunology and vaccine research. We are interested in research that tackles the current roadblocks in human vaccine development and expands our understanding of immune processes fundamental to successful vaccine and immunotherapy development.

The application portal is now closed -- winners will be announced December 2025.

We will begin accepting applications for next year's grants in April 2026. To learn more about the Prizes, visit: https://michelsonprizes.smapply.org
