This is Christian Salas, chair of the INS Awards Committee. I am launching a campaign to gather nominations for the INS NOLA meeting (February 12-15).
https://the-ins.org/meetings/new-orleans-2025/
I am contacting you since you are listed in our database as a representative of a Neuropsychological Association or Society.
INS awards have as a main goal to recognize the work of colleagues who have contributed to the research, academic or clinical development of the discipline at a global or regional level. INS Awards can be a powerful tool to boost the development of neuropsychology over the globe, particularly in developing countries and underrepresented geographical areas.
In that context, I would like to invite your Association or Society to promote these awards amongst your members. You could help us by a) passing this information to members of your association or society, or by; b) directly nominating people that you consider have contributed to the field of neuropsychology globally or locally.
In case you are not familiar with the awards, details can be found here
