The Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists were established in 2007 through a partnership between the Blavatnik Family Foundation, led by Len Blavatnik, and The New York Academy of Sciences. The program was created to celebrate and support promising young scientists and engineers early in their careers. The inaugural Blavatnik Awards were presented in New York City on November 12, 2007, recognizing outstanding early‑career researchers in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
