Warren Alpert Foundation Prize

O Warren Alpert Foundation Prize é uma premiação concedida anualmente a cientistas cujo trabalho levou à prevenção, cura ou tratamento de doenças humanas, e/ou cujas pesquisas constituem uma descoberta científica seminal com grandes expectativas de revolucionar o entendimento ou habilidade para tratar doenças. O prêmio foi estabelecido em 1987 pelo filantropo Warren Alpert[1] e pela Warren Alpert Foundation.

O prêmio é administrado conjuntamente pela Harvard Medical School em Boston, Massachusetts e a Warren Alpert Foundation, localizada em Providence, Rhode Island. Um simpósio anual ocorre na Harvard Medical School, onde os laureados apresentam seus trabalhos. O prêmio consiste em uma gratificação monetária de US$ 500.000,[2] uma citação e uma placa.
