The Protein Society Awards The Carl Brändén Award In the tradition of the late Carl Brändén, pioneer in structural biology, co-author of the seminal text, Introduction to Protein Structure, and leader of the world-class synchrotron facility at Grenoble, the Carl Brändén Award, sponsored by Rigaku Corporation, is given to an outstanding protein scientist who has also made exceptional contributions in the areas of education and/or service to the science. The award is granted annually alternating between the U.S. and European meetings. The 2011 recipient will be recognized at the IX European Symposium of The Protein Society in Stockholm, Sweden, May 22-26, 2011 by presenting a plenary lecture on the structure and function of protein science as it relates to his/her field of study. The Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Award The Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Award, sponsored by Genentech, is granted in recognition of exceptional contributions in protein science, which profoundly influence our understanding of biology. The award is granted annually alternating between the U.S. and European meetings. The 2011 recipient will be recognized at the IX European Symposium of The Protein Society in Stockholm, Sweden, May 22-26, 2011 by presenting a plenary lecture on the structure and function of protein science as it relates to his/her field of study. The Stein and Moore Award The Stein and Moore Award, sponsored by The Protein Society and named for Nobel Laureates Dr. William Stein and Dr. Stanford Moore, venerates their contribution to understanding the connection between chemical structure and catalytic activity of the active center of the ribonuclease molecule. To that end, recipients of the Stein and Moore award are recognized for their contributions to the highest level of the study of proteins. The 2011 recipient will be acknowledged at the 25th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society in Boston, Massachusetts, July 23-27, 2011 with a session in his/her honor on a topic as it relates to his/her field of study. The Hans Neurath Award The Hans Neurath Award, sponsored by the Hans Neurath Foundation, recognizes an individual who has made a recent contribution of unusual merit to basic research in the field of protein science, including but not restricted to the chemistry, design, folding, structure, or biological function of proteins. The 2010 and 2011 recipients will be acknowledged at the 25th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society in Boston, Massachusetts, July 23-27, 2011 with session in their honor on a topic as it relates to their fields of study. The Christian B. Anfinsen Award The Christian B. Anfinsen Award, sponsored by the Aviv Family Foundation, recognizes significant technical achievements in the field of protein science. The 2011 recipient will be acknowledged at the 25th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society in Boston, Massachusetts, July 23-27, 2011 with a session in his/her honor on a topic as it relates to his/her field of study. The Emil Thomas Kaiser Award The Emil Thomas Kaiser Award, sponsored by The Protein Society, recognizes a recent, highly significant contribution in applying chemistry to the study of proteins. The 2011 recipient will be acknowledged at the 25th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society in Boston, Massachusetts, July 23-27, 2011 with a session in his/her honor on a topic as it relates to his/her field of study. The Irving Sigal Young Investigator Award The Irving Sigal Young Investigator Award, sponsored by the Merck Research Laboratories, is an award that recognizes an important contribution to the study of proteins by a scientist who is in the early stages of an independent career. Candidates are generally not more than 40 years of age. The 2011 recipient will be acknowledged at the 25th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society in Boston, Massachusetts, July 23-27, 2011 with a session in his/her honor on a topic as it relates to his/her field of study. Learn More about how to submit a nomination for an award> TRAVEL AWARDS The Protein Society is pleased to offer the Protein Science Young Investigator Travel Grants/Finn Wold Travel Awards and FASEB/MARC Travel Awards to eligible applicants. The deadline for submitting an application for the 2011 Travel Award Program will be announced. Protein Science Young Investigator Travel Grant Program * The Protein Society has partnered with Wiley-Blackwell to publish the Society’s monthly flagship journal, Protein Science beginning January 2009. In support of The Protein Society’s efforts to facilitate the participation of young scientists at its symposia, Wiley-Blackwell has generously sponsored the Protein Science Young Investigator Travel Grant Program. Finn Wold Travel Award Program* Finn Wold was one of the founders and early Presidents of The Protein society. He was a very creative individual who was very supportive of students. In 1997, The Protein Society named the student travel awards in his honor. The Finn Wold Travel Award program is supported by generous contributors to the Finn Wold Travel Award Fund. Download the PDF CONTRIBUTION form here. *Eligible applicants will be considered for a single travel award. FASEB/MARC Minority Student Travel Awards The FASEB Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) Program), in partnership with The Protein Society, offers travel awards to promote the entry of underrepresented minority scientists (Student/Postodc members of The Protein Society) into the mainstream of the basic science community and to encourage the participation of young protein scientists in the annual symposia of The Protein Society. The program is supported by a grant from NIGMS, NIH.
