Nominations Invited for New Prize to Recognize Innovative Research in Multiple Sclerosis
Nominations Invited for New Prize to Recognize Innovative Research in Multiple Sclerosis
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is accepting nominations for a new $100,000 annual cash prize recognizing scientists whose inventive work is propelling measurable progress in multiple sclerosis research.
The Barancik Prize for Innovation in MS Research was established to recognize an exceptional scientist or team whose work in MS research has demonstrated outstanding innovation and originality. The prize is made possible through the support of the Charles and Margery Barancik SO Foundation.
Any investigator(s) active in MS research is eligible for the prize. Nominee(s) may be from any institution or organization — public or private, government, as well as commercial entities. Nominees may also be at any stage of their professional career in MS research. There are no specific requirements for residency or citizenship. Nominees need not be current or past grantees of the National MS Society.
Nominations must be submitted on behalf an individual, or team of individuals, by one or more colleagues or mentors. Self-nominations are not permitted.
The first prize will be given in May 2013. A selection committee comprised of leaders in science, medicine, and MS advocacy will review nominees for their exceptional innovation and originality, impact, potential of the research to lead to pathways for treatment and cure for MS, and accomplishments in MS research that merit recognition and indicate future leadership in the field.
Visit the National MS Society Web site for complete program information and nomination instructions.
