The ALBA-Roche Research Prize - call for nominations open
ALBA recently launched the

The call for nominations is open. The deadline is 23rd January 2024.
Please consider applying or forwarding the call to your colleagues.

More information about the prize
Awarded through a new partnership between the ALBA Network and
Roche, this prize recognises
outstanding contributions in brain research by
mid-career scientists from
underrepresented groups, whose work focuses
on the nervous system and may improve our understanding of the
causal mechanisms of brain diseases.
What we mean by underrepresented
Underrepresented groups refer to scientists who have encountered disadvantages, be it by birth or circumstance, presenting additional challenges in career advancement or hindering recognition for their work. This includes
individuals who should be more prevalent, recognised, or better funded in brain research, such as
women, LGBTQIA+ individuals, persons with
disabilities, those with diverse
racial, ethnic, indigenous backgrounds, living in
low socio-economic areas, facing visa issues due to a weak passport, or experiencing
difficult personal circumstances (e.g., caregiving responsibilities). For a detailed definition, please visit the
ALBA website.
This prize symbolises a milestone in promoting diversity among awardees and I therefore encourage you to
spread the word about this unique opportunity. Please also
