SBIC Early Career Award Goes Annual
2007 October 1
SBIC Council has approved a plan to change the frequency of the SBIC Early Career Award from every two years to every year. We have initiated the competition for the 2008 award and nominations are invited. Details of the criteria and procedures can be found on the SBIC Awards web page. The deadline for receipt of nominations is 31 December 2007.
In brief, the award will be presented to an early career scientist (no more than 15 years post-Ph.D. at the nomination deadline) who has already accomplished distinguished research in biological inorganic chemistry. To be eligible for the award, the candidate must hold SBIC membership since the prior ICBIC. Both 2008 and 2009 awardees will be invited to present their award lectures at ICBIC 14 in Japan.
