The 32nd Annual James L. O'Leary Prizes for Research in Neuroscience
Two prizes of $1000 each will be awarded for the most original and important accomplishments in neuroscience research by i) a predoctoral student and ii) a postdoctoral fellow or resident. Current Washington University predoctoral students, postdoctoral fellows and residents are invited to submit five copies of a summary of their work to Brad Schlaggar at Campus Box 8111 Room 2220K East Building (schlaggarb@neuro.wustl.edu) no later than FEBRUARY 20, 2009.
Instructions:
The summary should include a title page indicating the applicant's name, preceptor, campus box, telephone number, email address and status (e.g. graduate student).
The summary itself should begin with a 250 word abstract and be no longer than 5 double spaced pages, including figures. A separate listing of no more than 10 references is allowed.
In addition, a letter from the applicant's preceptor attesting to the contents of the summary should accompany the submission (e.g. not a letter of recommendation but a statement that the summary accurately reflects the applicant's contributions).
N.B. All work to be considered for the prizes must have been carried out by the applicant while a student, resident, or fellow at Washington University.
From the submitted summaries the Selection Committee will choose those to be presented at the O'Leary Prize program on Thursday afternoon, March 26th, 2009 from 1:00-4:00pm, (Location TBD).
The prizes will be presented at the Annual Symposium on Translational Neuroscience featuring the George H. Bishop and Hope Center Lectures, to be held on April 16, 2009.
