Winner Notified: January 15, 2021
Lecture Presentation at the NIH: Spring/Summer/Fall 2021
The Office of Disease Prevention (ODP) is seeking nominations for our 2021 Early-Stage Investigator Lecture. The award is made annually to an early-career scientist who has made significant research contributions in disease prevention but who has not yet successfully competed for an R01 or R01-equivalent NIH research grant.
The award winner will be invited, with all travel expenses covered, to give a lecture at the NIH in 2021. The awardee will also have the opportunity to meet and network with NIH program directors and scientists. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the date of the lecture will depend on travel and meeting guidance provided by the NIH.
Nominees should have:
- Innovative and significant research accomplishments in applied prevention research in humans, in areas that are relevant to the ODP’s mission
- Evidence of highly collaborative research projects, especially those that bridge disciplines to offer new approaches and ways of thinking in disease prevention research.
Please email prevention@mail.nih.gov with any questions.
