The Pearl Meister Greengard Prize is an award for women scientists in biology given annually by the Rockefeller University.

Greengard donated the full share of his 2000 Nobel Prize to the fund, and was able to use his new publicity to attract additional funding for the award, which was launched in 2004.

[2] The award is meant to shine a spotlight on exceptional female scientists, since, as Greengard observed, "[women] are not yet receiving awards and honors at a level commensurate with their achievements.

[4][5] Three recipients of the Prize, Carol Greider, Elizabeth Blackburn and Katalin Karikó, have gone on to receive the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

One recipient, Jennifer Doudna, received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
