The Science & Scholarship Committee is responsible for identifying and managing initiatives that invest in the future of science by supporting students and educators who represent the future scientific interests of our global membership.

Our Initiatives:

The Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (Regeneron ISEF) Special Awards Organization

DCAT awards grants to student research projects at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (Regeneron ISEF), the world’s largest global pre-college science competition. Owned and produced by the Society for Science, Regeneron ISEF provides a platform for the best and brightest young scientists (in 9th to 12th grades) to showcase their science, technology, engineering, or math research. The DCAT Science & Scholarship Committee facilitates DCAT’s participation as a Special Awards Organization at Regeneron ISEF. DCAT’s participation enables the organization to invest in the bio/pharmaceutical industry’s future by supporting young scholars who represent the geographic regions and areas of study reflected in DCAT’s global membership.

In 2025, DCAT awarded grants of $30,000, to student scientists of four projects who participated in Regeneron ISEF, which was held in Columbus, Ohio, on May 10-16, 2025.

Since 2017, DCAT has awarded over $150,000 in grants to student scientists participating at Regeneron ISEF. Click here to read more about the student winners supported by DCAT in 2025.

The grants are made possible through the generous support of DCAT Member Companies, including participation in the DCAT Scholarship Golf Outing, which for 2025, was held June 23, 2025, at the Jasna Polana Club in Princeton, New Jersey.
