The FNIH will begin nominations for the Kovler Prize for Trust in Life Science Journalism, which includes a $25,000 honorarium, later this month. This award recognizes individual reporters who make complex health- and science-related topics digestible for the public. This work is crucial in building trust to support informed healthcare decision-making.

Hear from our inaugural recipient, Katherine J. Wu, PhD, about the importance of providing clear, accurate information to guide the public.


 

The Kovler Prize is made possible by a donation to the FNIH by the Judy and Peter Blum Kovler Foundation.
