The result of the fellowship is often a publication that shares new perspectives and challenges traditional thinking. When this year’s scholars entered the program, none had any idea that their working relationships with their colleagues would shift in the final months due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, scholars found ways to finish the year with socially distanced gatherings and Zoom-based workshopping, and proved once again that sharing diverse perspectives advances creative thinking.

  • A Major New Awards Program Honors American Visionaries and Innovators
    For Immediate Release December 20, 2005 Press Contact: Rick Kinsel, (212) 472-4720 or [email protected] A MAJOR NEW AWARDS PROGRAM HONORS AMERICAN VISIONARIES AND INNOVATORS NEW YORK, NY —- Today Jan T. Vilcek and Marica F. Vilcek, co-founders of The Vilcek Foundation, announced the creation of a major new annual awards program designed to honor foreign-born Americans who have made extraordinary contributions to society in the arts and biomedical research since immigrating to these shores. Accompanied by a $50,000 cash award and a commemorative object created by noted designer Stefan Sagmeister, The Vilcek Prize is the only national award to honor outstanding creative achievement by new Americans. The first Vilcek Prizes will be bestowed on Tuesday, March 21, 2006, in a gala ceremony at the Mandarin Oriental on Columbus Circle in New York. Special guests include Dr. Harold E. Varmus, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, who will deliver a keynote address, and Agnes Gund, President Emerita of The Museum of Modern Art. Dr. Vilcek, a professor and research scientist at the New York University School of Medicine, and Mrs. Vilcek, an art historian, established The Vilcek Foundation in 2000. During its first years, the Foundation focused mainly on the support of research in the field of autoimmune diseases. In 2005 The Vilcek Foundation added a new focus—celebrating the achievements of foreign-born individuals living permanently in the U.S.—as a way of to honor innovation in their respective fields and show appreciation for the opportunities they received as newcomers to the United States.
