2016 Prize Shortlist
The following 55 projects and scientists from 21 countries made it through to the final judging process. This year we were particularly pleased to see an increase in nominations from Asia.
Each category normally awards one (or possibly two) projects; with the Young Researcher Award funding up to five scientists. This year, in order to support more young scientists in parts of the world where animal-free science is not so well accepted, we have three Young Researcher Awards, each providing up to five selected scientists with £10,000 to further their career in non-animal testing:
- Young Researcher Asia
- Young Researcher Americas
- Young Researcher Rest of the World
