Subject: Invitation for Breakthrough Prize Nominations

 

I would like to invite you to make nominations for the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences. Up to four prizes will be awarded to exceptional researchers in the field of Life Sciences. Three prizes will be awarded in any area in basic or medical life sciences, and one prize will specifically recognize advances in Parkinson’s disease or other neurological disorders. 

 

To register and make nominations, visit https://breakthroughprize.org. The deadline is April 1.

 

The Breakthrough Prize celebrates transformative advances toward understanding living systems and extending human life, focusing on advances during the past 15 years. Profiles of the laureates from 2013-2020 are available at https://breakthroughprize.org/Laureates/2.

 

The 2021 prizes will be presented in the fall of 2020 at a globally broadcast awards ceremony.

 

I'm attaching a document with all of the prizes available from the foundation this year that you can circulate to colleagues at your institution and in your field. If you have any technical questions on the nominating process, please contact Rob Meyer at meyer@breakthroughprize.org.

 

With best regards,
