Deadline for submitting essays is Monday, April 3, 2017.
The Foundation seeks essays of 800 words or less on the following topic:
Using at least one specific example, propose ways in which breakthroughs in biomedical research can be made part of the daily global dialogue, so that a much wider public becomes better informed and more supportive of biomedical research endeavors.
