Nomination and Selection Process
ISBER members who nominate individuals for these awards will be asked to describe why they think the nominee qualifies for the award and describe the nominee's specific contributions and achievements that support the nomination. Members may also be asked to provide a CV or resume for the nominee. The Nominating Committee will then evaluate each nominee on its own merit based on the value and impact of the nominee's contributions to the field of biobanking and the mission and goals of the society, the breadth of influence, etc. Nominating Committee members will not be eligible for these awards while they are serving on the committee.
