The Neil S. Jacobson Research Awards for Outstanding and Innovative Clinical Research
Colleagues, friends, and family of Neil S. Jacobson are pleased to announce the Neil S. Jacobson Research Awards for Clinical Research.
On June 2, 1999, Neil S. Jacobson died suddenly and unexpectedly of a heart attack. He left behind a stunned and grieving family, cadre of students, and colleagues and collaborators.
In the years since his death, Neil's work has stood the test of time, and his ideas and visions continue to shape his three areas of scholarship: marital therapy, domestic violence, and the treatment of depression.
The week prior to his death, Neil told his graduate student, Sona Dimidjian, that he was most proud of two aspects of his professional life. The first was developing and maintaining his three distinct and remarkable
programs of research--marital therapy, domestic violence, and the treatment of depression. The second was that he was gifted at selecting the best possible graduate students. To honor that which Neil
valued most as a scientist, we have created three graduate student/early career research awards that will be announced at the November 2009 ABCT meeting in New York City.
About the Award: The award will fund graduate student clinical research (including those who are within 5 years of having completed their Ph.D.), with an emphasis on dissertation research.
The award will provide up to $5,000 for research projects that are relevant to the understanding and treatment of people with difficult life problems. Projects that involve new initiatives that help to
move the field in creative directions and that demonstrate promise for continued, ongoing development and investigation are particularly welcome.
This award is limited to graduate student members of ABCT.
Application: Proposals should describe the aims, background and significance, and methods, and should clearly state how the project will advance clinical research efforts.
Proposals should be a maximum of 3 single-spaced pages in length, plus references, and should include a 1-page budget. Finally, proposals should be accompanied by a letter of support from a faculty mentor.
Review Process: Proposals are due May 1, 2009. Please e-mail 1 copy of your proposal (click on the link below to access the application) to Virginia Rutter, Ph.D., at vrutter@gmail.com, and mail 1 hard copy
of your proposal to ABCT, The Neil S. Jacobson Research Awards for Outstanding Innovative Clinical Research, 305 Seventh Ave., New York, NY 10001.
Applicants will be notified of the committee's decisions by September 1, 2009.
Award recipients will be announced at the November 2009 ABCT convention in New York City and invited to a reception in their honor and in honor of Neil S. Jacobson.
The Neil S. Jacobson Research Awards Committee includes Professors Andrew Christensen (UCLA), Sona Dimidjian (UC Boulder), Steven Hollon (Vanderbilt), Bob Kohlenberg (UW Seattle),
and Virginia Rutter (Framingham State College)
