The Boettcher Foundation established the Webb-Waring Biomedical Research Awards program, which will provide up to six grants of $235,000 each covering up to three years of research activity, to provide independent research opportunities to promising and talented early career investigators. Awardees will carry the title of Boettcher Investigator in acknowledgement of the prestigious award.
