The Young Scientist Awards recognize brilliant early career international scientists and are selected in partnership with major scientific organizations:

Gruber Science Fellowships
Established in 2011, the Gruber Science Fellowships are the most prestigious awards offered by the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.[9][10] Annually, only approximately 20 are awarded to the most highly ranked applicants to Yale PhD programs in the life sciences, cosmology, and astrophysics, in recognition of their outstanding accomplishments and exceptional promise.[11] The
Gruber Program for Global Justice and Women's Rights
Administered by Yale Law School, the Gruber Program for Global Justice and Women's Rights continues and expands upon the missions of the previous Justice and Women's Rights Prizes, from which it evolved.[12] Currently, the program consists of four core components:
- Global Constitutionalism Seminar[13]
- Gruber Distinguished Lectures in Global Justice and Women's Rights[14]
- Gruber Global Justice and Women's Rights Fellowships[15]
- Gruber Project in Global Justice and Women’s Rights
