Past Award Winners

VSS Young Investigator Award

VSS is pleased to announce the fourth annual Young Investigator Award. The Young Investigator Award is awarded each year to an outstanding visual scientist who has received an advanced degree within the past 10 years. (The nominee's degree must be no earlier than the calendar year 10 years prior to receiving the award. For the upcoming 2010 award, the degree must be in 2000 or later.)

Nominations must be made by a VSS member and will be reviewed by the Young Investigator Award Committee, consisting of five established visual scientists selected from VSS membership. Members of the Award Committee cannot serve as nominators.

The Award Committee will select the winner by March 15, 2010 and the prize, which includes an honorarium, will be presented at the 2010 VSS meeting in Naples.

The nominations should include:

• A letter of recommendation with a detailed description of the scientific contributions of the nominee.

• A curriculum vitae of the nominee.

Please note, while previously considered nominees may be re-nominated, a new nomination is required (assuming the nominee is still eligible).

Nominations for the 2010 Young Investigator Award should be submitted by email to Shauney Wilson (shauneywilson@visionsciences.org).

Deadline for receipt of nominations: Friday, January 15, 2010
