About the Organization

Wellcome supports science to solve the urgent health challenges facing everyone. We support discovery research into life, health and wellbeing, and we’re taking on three worldwide health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health. 

Nature advances discovery through the publication of rigorous, original research and authoritative journalism. Through Nature Awards, we extend this mission beyond publication using our global reach, leadership and communication platforms to support outstanding researchers and accelerate real‑world change.
