development of female STEM2D leaders, and inspire career
paths in STEM2D, by supporting the research of the
awarded women in their respective STEM2D fields.
"COVID-19 has shown us that investments in research are critical
to advance health for humanity and, as we begin to emerge from the
pandemic, there is a great need for continued progress and
innovation aimed at a healthier, safer and more equitable world,"
said Cat Oyler, Vice President, Clinical Transformation, Immunology
and Integration Leader, Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and

with 70% unable to obtain funding, making this award more crucial
than ever."

winners, each of whom will represent one of the STEM2D
disciplines. Last year, more than 650 highly qualified applicants
from across the world applied for the award.
