For the creation of a stable research environment for researchers in the field of basic science, 'Basic Scientist Scholarship' is a project that supports residential rent (monthly rent) so that researchers can focus solely on research without the burden of living expenses. The program, which was first planned in the domestic pharmaceutical industry, has been continuing for six years this year, and has produced a total of 56 scholars so far. Last year, 12 researchers were selected to receive housing expenses.
Applicants are Korean researchers in the basic science field (life science, medical engineering, and pharmaceutical chemistry) who have been in the integration of master's and doctoral programs at home and abroad for more than three years. Overseas resident researchers can also apply. Applicants can fill out predetermined documents such as research essays, future growth plans, and research plans and submit them to the JW Lee Jong-ho Foundation email.
The foundation will announce the final successful candidates on December 4 after document screening and in-depth interviews. Successful applicants will receive residential rent for up to three years, up to 8 million won per year, taking into account the research period for the purpose of obtaining a degree.
An official of the JW Lee Jong-ho Foundation said, "Basic science is the foundation that supports human health and industrial development and is the core of national competitiveness. The JW Lee Jong-ho Foundation will be a strong supporter for young researchers who will lead the future scientific community to produce creative research results in a stable environment."
