DS Bridges selection process
Exciting announcement of the 2021 DS Bridges Scholars!
We want to bring you inside the peer-review process for DS Bridges.
The scholar selection was done in three phases:
- 44 applications were reviewed to confirm eligibility;
- 15 finalists were selected by a panel of 15+ experts from across the healthcare and life sciences. Our expert panel included doctors, professors, and entrepreneurs;
- 7 winners were selected by a steering committee made up the Dimensions Sciences Scientific Advisory Board, Board of members, and special guests.
In the review phases each application was assessed by at least two members of each committee who made notes and recommendations for the final decision.
Seven selected Scholars will receive a one-time prize award, a monthly scholarship, and access to our mentoring program, Dimensions Sciences Advice, Coaching, Training, and Support (DS-ACTS).
Thank you to all who applied and made DS Bridges a success!
How to apply
Additional Information
Dimensions Sciences, a nonprofit organization based in the U.S., announced a scholarship program to support Brazilian scientists who are already voluntarily linked to laboratories based in Brazil but do not have a scholarship or salary, or Brazilian scientists returning from scientific exchange abroad (outside of Brazil) to laboratories based in Brazil but do not have a scholarship or salary.
Dimensions Sciences intends to provide a career transition program, allowing professionals in the sciences to continue dedicating themselves to research while searching for employment or longer-term scholarships from state, federal, or international agencies.
Our goal is that representation in the sciences resembles the diversity of the population in general, and our focus in this notice will take into account the ethnic-racial, gender, gender orientation, motherhood, and socioeconomic factors.
Support will be provided in the form of a monthly scholarship (for a minimum of three months, which may be extended to six months depending on the availability of resources, need for extension, and merit) and our mentoring program, Dimensions Sciences Advice, Coaching, Training, and Support (DS-ACTS).
Five to 10 scholarships will be offered to selected candidates who are without a salary or scholarship at the time the program begins. We look for highly motivated candidates with at least a complete master's degree compatible with the area of expertise who carry out scientific activities in the areas of biological and health sciences.
We encourage candidates to apply who have projects related to innovatively fighting infectious and contagious diseases, including the current health emergency (COVID-19). Projects will be evaluated based on feasibility, impact, innovation, and candidate trajectory.
Applications are now closed. Check back in 2022!
