The Boettcher Foundation has announced its 2020 class of Boettcher Investigators, including five University of Colorado biomedical researchers.

The $1.88 million in awards from the Foundation’s Webb-Waring Biomedical Research Awards program support promising, early career scientific researchers, allowi­ng them to establish their independent research and make it competitive for major federal and private awards.

Recipients each are awarded $235,000 in grant funding to sustain up to three years of biomedical research.

This year’s class, the 11th, brings the total number of CU-based Boettcher Investigators to 49, representing research awards of $11.4 million.
