Salzman Award Applications Due Sept. 19

The annual awards honor the 40-year career of the late Dr. Norman Salzman, a virologist who mentored many young scientists.

The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) is now accepting nominations for the Norman P. Salzman Memorial Awards in Basic and Clinical Virology. For more than 25 years, this prize has highlighted early-career virologists.

The Salzman Awards include a $2,500 honorarium for postdoctoral fellows and a $1,000 honorarium for graduate students and postbaccalaureate trainees. Recipients also get the opportunity to present their findings—alongside eminent virologists—at the Annual Norman P. Salzman Memorial Symposium in Basic and Clinical Virology, held every fall on the NIH campus.

These prizes are open to postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and postbaccalaureate trainees working in the field of virology in intramural laboratories at NIH, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Fort Detrick Laboratories, LEIDOS, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.

Applications are due on Sept. 19, 2025. Learn more and apply at FNIH.org/salzman.
