Antibodies-online’s mission is to support life science research. Therefore we have conceived our Independent Validation Initiative to help increase transparency in the research antibodies, ELISA kits and proteins market. We are now helping young scientists and prospective scientists in the life sciences to focus on their studies instead of covering the costs for their education. Each year, we will be supporting two students in the USA with a stipend to pursue their dream and advance scientific discovery. Candidates must be enrolled as a freshman, undergraduate, or graduate student at an accredited college or university for the upcoming fall or spring term respectively with an intended major in Life Sciences or related fields. Deadlines for application submission are twice a year. Complete the application along with a 250 word abstract on why you have decided to enter the field of Life Science and how you plan to use your degree to further advance this field.
