Call for 2009 Award Nominations

The Edward T. LaRoe III Memorial Award is given annually to an individual with a distinguished record of research and outstanding application of science to the conservation of biological resources. The intent of the award is to recognize the innovative application of science to resource management and policy. Although all scientists are eligible for the award, because of Edward LaRoe's distinguished career as a public servant, preference is given to employees of governmental resource management agencies or science agencies.

Please send nominations for the 2009 LaRoe Award by 1 October 2008 to J. Michael Scott, Department of Fish and Wildlife, P.O. Box 44-1141, Room 103, University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho 83844-1141, USA, mscott@uidaho.edu (with copies to Sarah Martinez, sarahm@uidaho.edu). Nominations should be in the form of a nominating letter with an accompanying resume of the nominee. At least two letters of support for nominees also should be submitted. Nominators also may use the form provided for Distinguished Service Awards.

Distinguished Service Awards

SCB annually presents awards for distinguished service in any field associated with conservation biology to individuals or institutions from academia, government, and other affiliations. Nominations are solicited from all conservation professionals.

Beginning in 2009, SCB seeks to honor an outstanding conservation professional who is making a significant contribution to the science or practice of conservation early in his or her career, normally within ten years of receiving his or her last degree or beginning his or her first professional position.

A nomination form and a minimum of two supporting letters must be received by 1 October 2008. The form is available at http://conbio.org/SCB/Activities/Awards/. Letters and form must be submitted as a single document in Word. Separate letters will not be accepted. Please send nominations to Saterson.Kathryn@epamail.epa.gov. If the nominator does not have internet access, contact Kathryn Saterson, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 109 TW Alexander Drive, MC: B305-02, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711, USA, 1 919 541-2535.
