KLERMAN & WEISSMAN  AWARDS

https://www.isiptcon2024.com/klerman–weissman-awards.html

We are excited to announce that the ISIPT will award the inaugural Klerman & Weissman Awards at the March 2024 ISIPT/UK meeting in Newcastle. A special ISIPT committee has worked hard to develop these.

​Two awards will be presented: 

• The Klerman & Weissman Rising Investigator Award for IPT Research
• The Klerman & Weissman Award for Excellence in Outreach, Teaching, and Dissemination.

NOTE that the two Awards have slightly different criteria: in particular, the Research award is intended for emerging investigators rather than long established researchers. (Please see criteria below).

Feel free to nominate yourselves or others. 

• DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: Friday 15th September, 2023
• ​Please send nominations to John Markowitz at jcm42@cumc.columbia.edu

Nominations will be reviewed by the Committee and winners announced in the fall of 2023.
​Please distribute news of these Awards to your colleagues and on relevant listservs.
