Der '''Richard Lounsbery Award''' ''(Prix Richard Lounsbery)'' ist ein seit 1979 von der [[National Academy of Sciences]] der [[Vereinigte Staaten|Vereinigten Staaten]] und der [[Frankreich|französischen]] [[Académie des Sciences]] vergebener Wissenschaftspreis im Bereich [[Biologie]] und [[Medizin]].

Der Preis soll den wissenschaftlichen Austausch zwischen Frankreich und den Vereinigten Staaten fördern. Er wird abwechselnd an junge französische und US-amerikanische Wissenschaftler in Anerkennung außerordentlicher wissenschaftlicher Leistungen vergeben. Zusätzlich zu dem eigentlichen Preisgeld von 75.000 US-Dollar (Stand 2025) wird dem Preisträger eine Geldsumme zur Verfügung gestellt, die ihm einen Forschungsaufenthalt in dem jeweils anderen Land erlaubt. Der Preisträger soll auch im Partnerland einen Vortrag halten.

Der ''Richard Lounsbery Award'' wurde von Vera Lounsbery zur Erinnerung an ihren verstorbenen Gatten [[Richard Lounsbery]] gestiftet. Die ''Richard Lounsbery Foundation'' mit Sitz in [[Washington, D.C.]] unterstützt den neben dem ''Richard Lounsbery Award'' internationale Forschungsprojekte und -kooperationen, insbesondere zwischen Frankreich und den Vereinigten Staaten.
