Scientific Review Committee

Each of our Research Scholars Programs is overseen by a scientific review committee composed of distinguished experts in their respective fields who are independent from Gilead to ensure equal, objective evaluation of all applicants and their applications. This enables us to maintain the program’s overall integrity and competitive standards, and to ensure awards support the next generation of breakthrough scientific discovery.
