Honoring Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA)
The Federation of Associations in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (FABBS) is a community of scientific societies and institutional affiliates who come together to advance our disciplines. FABBS is devoted to furthering Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) principles to actively engage scientists from all backgrounds in the United States and to celebrate their scholarship and service to the mind, brain, and behavioral sciences.
FABBS is proud to announce the Award for Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility – or IDEA Award – to recognize and honor distinguished research, professional practice, and activities (such as mentorship), that advance these principles in the behavioral and brain sciences. Nominees should exemplify high personal ethics and respectful behavior.
FABBS welcomes all nominations, including self-nominations, and especially encourages nominations of scientists from minoritized communities and from disciplines and subject matters that have been traditionally under-represented in the behavioral and brain sciences. Nominees must have two nomination letters.
The recipient(s) of the IDEA award will be announced at the FABBS annual meeting in December. The winner(s) will receive a cash award of $1,000 (USD), a plaque, and be featured in an article in the FABBS newsletter and website.
