Members can nominate their colleagues for each of the awards. The deadline to nominate peers and mentors is October 19th, 2018.

Outstanding Scientific Achievement Award
The Outstanding Scientific Achievement Award is presented to individuals to recognize novel and seminal research dealing with a specific thematic area (not a collection of disparate findings) that has made a significant impact to the sleep and circadian research field. Generally, the major contribution is presented in a single publication, although in some cases the scientific contribution is best represented in a small series of discoveries. Scientific advances recognized by this award may be basic, translational, clinical or theoretical in nature. This award honors one scientist or a team of up to three scientists most responsible for the design, conduct, and publication of the novel and seminal work. Learn more
