The ISPNE gives several awards to its members.
Curt Richter Award
| The 2007 Curt Richter Award recipient is Christine Heim from Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia, USA |
The International Society of Psychoneuroendocrinology (ISPNE) has awarded the prestigious Curt Richter Award for over 20 years to a distinguished line of young investigators in the field of psychoneuroendocrinology.
The Curt Richter Award will be given by the Society during its 39th Congress in Dresden, Germany, July 17-20, 2008. The award consists of an honorarium, an award certificate, a plaque, a travel grant of up to US $1,000 to attend the meeting, and exemption from membership dues to the Society for three years, which includes a subscription to the Journal.
Applicants must be 45 years of age or younger by January 1, 2008. The manuscript must be a report of original, never-published research in basic or clinical psychoneuroendocrinology. It may also be an integrative comprehensive new discussion of the author’s previously published findings. The manuscript should be prepared using the ISPNE Journal (Psychoneuroendocrinology) guidelines for preparation of manuscripts for publication. Following peer review, the manuscript will be automatically submitted for publication in the Journal and the award recipient will present the research at a plenary session during the Congress.
The Curt Richter Award is sponsored by Elsevier, which underwrites the honorarium and travel expenses for the awardee, as well as providing a year's complimentary access to ScienceDirect and Scopus. Through these online services, the awardee is able to access all Elsevier journals. ISPNE wishes to thank Elsevier for its continuing support of our Curt Richter awards program.
Applicants should submit five copies of: (a) the manuscript; (b) curriculum vitae with list of publications; (c) letter (no more than one page, single-spaced) describing the applicant’s main achievements and future directions, and (d) at least one letter of recommendation.
