Developmental Biology - Society for Developmental Biology Lifetime Achievement Award
The Society confers yearly the SDB Lifetime Achievement Award to a senior developmental biologist in recognition of her/his outstanding and sustained contributions in the field, exceptional mentoring and service to the scientific community. Typically, the award is given during the third trimester of the recipient's career, to allow sufficient time to assess the impact of his/her contributions to the community as a whole. The recipient is invited to attend the SDB Annual Meeting and receive the prizes at the Awards Ceremony.
In 2003, the award was renamed the Developmental Biology-Society for Developmental Biology Lifetime Achievement Award to recognize the long time partnership between Developmental Biology (Elsevier/Academic Press publisher) and SDB in dissemination and promotion of developmental biology to all.
Deadline is December 15, 2024 11:59 PM ET.
