2024 - Women in Science Incentive Prize

Women in Science Incentive Prize

Presented by The Story Exchange
The Story Exchange, an award-winning nonprofit media organization dedicated to elevating women's voices, is once again accepting applications for its annual Women In Science Incentive Prize. A full description for 2024 can be found here.

This year's cash prize will support U.S.-based women working to find innovative, science-based solutions as climate change increasingly exacerbates the intensity, frequency and duration of extreme events - such as storms, wildfires, floods, droughts and heat waves.

A total of 5 recipients will be awarded $5,000 each and potential media coverage via The Story Exchange, which produces videos, articles and podcasts for entrepreneurial women. Finalists will be selected by a panel of judges following a rigorous scientific review and based on an assessment by The Story Exchange editors.

Previous prizes focused on water, air and soil. Check out our winners in 2021, 2022 and 2023.

DUE DATE: JULY 31, 2024

Note: Finalists will be notified in September and invited to submit full applications. Winners will be announced in December.
