The award—the Established Investigator Grant—will support Harlow’s research for two years. Harlow was one of five to be selected from an applicant pool of 60 for this award after a scientific advisory committee looked over all the proposals and chose the most promising ones, according to the Tim Turnham, the foundation?...
