Alan N. Epstein Research Award:
The Alan N. Epstein Research Award is endowed by Professor Epstein’s family in his memory. Alan Epstein (1932-1992) was for many years a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a distinguished researcher in ingestive behavior. He was also an ardent supporter of SSIB and its fourth President. In keeping with Alan’s scientific vision, this award honors an individual for a specific research discovery that has advanced the understanding of ingestive behavior. Members of SSIB who are less than 15 years beyond the date of their highest degree are eligible.
Nominations must include a letter describing the research and its importance to the field, a list of up to five citations that document the research, and a brief (3 page) curriculum vitae of the nominee.
