The Suffrage Science award is a prize for women in science, engineering and computing founded in 2011, on the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day by the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS). There are three categories of award:
- life sciences
- engineering and physical sciences
- mathematics and computing.
The life sciences award was founded in 2011. Every year there are 10 laureates from research backgrounds and one laureate for communication. The engineering and physical sciences award was founded in 2013. Every year there are 12 laureates from areas spanning physics, chemistry and more. The math and computing award was launched on Ada Lovelace Day, 2016. Every year there are five laureates from mathematics, five laureates from computing and one laureate for science communication and the public awareness of science.
