The Society for Glycobiology is seeking nominations for the Rosalind Kornfeld Award for Lifetime Achievement in Glycobiology.
This award honors scientists who have, over their professional lifetimes, made significant contributions with important impact on the field of Glycobiology. Any member of the Society may nominate any other present or former member of the Society, except that the members of the Awards Committee may not be nominated, nor are they eligible to submit nominations, or contribute letters of support. The members of the Awards Committee for 2010 are: Anne Dell, Tom Oeltmann, Jeff Esko, Richard Cummings and James Paulson. In addition, prior recipients of the Karl Meyer Award will not be considered until 10 years after having received that award. Unlike the Karl Meyer Award nomination process, there is no requirement of the nominator to contact the candidate nominee to obtain permission or to make the nominee aware of the nomination.
The nomination should include:
- The nomination’s curriculum vitae with a complete bibliography separated into: 1) original peer-reviewed articles; and 2) other publications (do not include abstracts)
- Nominating letter including:1) a brief description of the scientific achievements that merit the nomination 2) other aspects of the nominee’s track record that might be taken into consideration (e.g., mentorship of trainees, general impact on the field, interactions with other scientists, service to the society, etc.)
Nomination packets should be sent to arrive no later than July 23, 2010.
DEADLINE: JULY 23, 2010!
IT IS STRONGLY PREFERRED THAT SUBMISSION OF ALL NOMINATING MATERIALS SHOULD BE BY EMAIL TO: secretary@glycobiology.org
