~ CALL FOR NOMINATIONS ~
~ April 1, 2008 - May 30, 2008 ~

The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) is pleased to announce the opening of nominations for the 2008 FASEB Diversity Award.  The FASEB Diversity Award (sponsored by Burroughs Wellcome Fund) was established to recognize outstanding achievement by an early stage life scientist from an underrepresented minority group. Individuals eligible for nomination are U.S.A. Citizens or Permanent Residents of the U.S.A. from an ethnic minority group recognized as being underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, are members of one or more of the societies of FASEB and are at a relatively early career stage, defined as not more than six years after completion of postdoctoral training. Nominations recognize an individual who has contributed significantly to a scientific discipline in addition to service and mentoring via local and national leadership leading to improving and expanding opportunities for minorities in the scientific workforce and academia.
