PRIM&R Service Award

In recognition of individuals who provide significant service to the human subjects protections or animal care and use communities.

PRIM&R Service Award

The PRIM&R Service Award was created by the PRIM&R Board of Directors to recognize individuals who have provided significant timely or timeless service to the human subjects protections or animal care and use communities that are at the core of PRIM&R. That service could be in teaching, mentorship, innovation, leadership, engagement, program improvement, or research. The intention of the award is to recognize the many and varied ways that people can have a significant impact on the field—awardees may be recognized for their long-time commitment or for one-time innovations and projects, whether early in their careers or after a lifetime of service.
