The United States Government through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), in partnership with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) are collaborating to strengthen ASEAN science and technology capacity and gender equality and improvement through the annual ASEAN-U.S. Science Prize for Women. The 2019 Prize will provide promising, ASEAN-based, early- to mid-career female scientists with recognition awards from ASEAN and the US Government for their academic and professional achievements.

The ASEAN-U.S. Science Prize for Women 2019 focuses on the theme of Circular Economy and is currently accepting applications from all ASEAN Member States.

The prize seeks to award two talented, early career women from the ASEAN region working in applied science.

Two winners will receive a $20,000 award (first prize), and a $5,000 prize for an honorable mention.
