Nominations for the Young Investigator Award for Early Career Contributions to the Field of Brain Injury Science must be no more than 10 years post-completion of training (either MD, DO or PhD). The awardee will receive a crystal award acknowledging their accomplishment and a $2,000 cash prize at the Gala Dinner during the IBIA World Congress. This award is given biennially. The IBIA awards committee will make the final decision on the winner with the input of the Chairperson and President.
The Lifetime Achievement Award is given to a candidate who has made significant contributions to the field of brain injury through some form of advocacy (prevention, education, legislative, scientific, etc). It is anticipated that said individual will have made a contribution to the field of brain injury advocacy and support over at least a twenty (20) year time span. Nominations may be made by any party, whether an IBIA member or not.
