INS AWARDS

EARLY CAREER RESEARCH, BENTON AWARD, LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

The Board of Governors has created an awards program which is intended to recognize the achievements of our members.  In addition to the Benton award, which has been used to recognize scientific achievements of individuals in the middle of their career, the program includes recognition of research achievement for early career and lifetime contributions.  The program also includes lifetime achievements awards for education and service. 

THE PAUL SATZ-INS CAREER MENTORING AWARD. SPONSORED BY PAR, INC.

PAR, Inc, in conjunction with the Society, has established an award to honor the contributions of Dr. Paul Satz. This award is bestowed upon an individual whose mentoring/teaching activities have made a profound impact on careers of students in the field of neuropsychology. An award will be presented at each meeting of the Society based on the merits of nominations received.

The Board of Governors is now calling for nominations for the Paul Satz award, which will be presented for the first time at the 40th Annual Meeting in Montreal. The application should consist of a nominating statement, a full CV and three letters of support. Supporting evidence for nominations for this award would include accomplishments of the mentor’s trainees over the years (usually involving becoming outstanding mentors themselves), as well as making other major contributions to neuropsychology. The impact of the nominee’s mentoring should be broad and substantial, extending beyond the mentor’s home institution.
