Awards
Fellow Membership Fellows of IBNS are individuals who have made substantial contributions to the Society and to the field of behavioral neuroscience. Fellows in the Society will be invited annually to nominate IBNS members for consideration as Fellows of the Society. Any fellow can activate the nomination process for a prospective candidate by sending a nomination letter to the Nominations and Awards Committee. The Committee will then contact the Fellow nominee to inform him/her of the nomination and to request a curriculum vita. From these materials (nomination letter and curriculum vita for each candidate) the Fellows Honorific Awards Committee will review and recommend candidates for Fellow status to Council for final approval and election. The Committee can request more letters at their discretion. Click here to see list of IBNS Fellows 1992-present.

Nominations should be sent to the Nominations and Awards Committee for consideration. 2014 Outstanding Achievement Award recipient - Stefan Brudzynski 2016 Outstanding Achievement Award recipient - Stephen Kent
