BUSSE RESEARCH AWARDS – Call for nominations is now closed !
In order to promote international research in gerontology two Busse Research Awards will be given at the XIX World Congress of Gerontology to be held in Paris France, July 5-9, 2009. In recognition of significant contributions to aging research one award will recognize a scientist from the social/behavioral sciences; the other, a scientist from the biomedical sciences. These awards are supported from an endowment made by Gerontology International in honor of Ewald W. Busse, M.D., past president of the International Association of Gerontology and founding director of the Duke Aging Center. This endowment is administered by the Duke University Center for the Study of Aging and Human Development.
The purpose of these awards is to recognize the achievements of late junior or mid-career scientists and to encourage their continued contributions to aging research. Awardees will receive certificates and an award of $5,000 (appropriate taxes will be deducted). Awardees must be present at the Congress to receive their awards and present a lecture based on their research. In addition to the prize, recipients will receive up to $3000 each for travel/living expenses for the Congress.
