The Norman H. Horowitz Fellowship

A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, B.S. in Biology, class of 1936, Dr. Norman H. Horowitz established this endowment in recognition of the role undergraduate research played in his own decision to pursue graduate training in science and with the desire to provide similar opportunities to undergraduates at his alma mater.  The fellowship is available to a student in the senior year or one who has completed a substantial amount of research. 

Dr. Horowitz was a Professor of Biology, Emeritus at Caltech before he died in June 2005. As a geneticist, Dr. Horowitz worked on genome organization, devised tests for the famous one-gene-one-enzyme hypothesis, and was a member of the scientific teams for the Mariner and Viking missions to Mars. Dr. Horowitz was member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Applications are typically due in February.
