2025 PRIM&R Service Award Nomination Form

Submission deadline: 5:00 PM EST May 30, 2025

Thank you for participating in this year's Call for Nominations for the PRIM&R Service Award.

The PRIM&R Service Award seeks to recognize individuals who have provided significant timely or timeless service to the human subjects protections and/or animal care and use communities that are at the core of PRIM&R. “Significant service” is broadly construed to include work in areas including but not limited to teaching, mentorship, innovation, leadership, engagement, program improvement, and research.

The intention of the award is to acknowledge individuals' significant contributions to the field, regardless of the stage of their careers or the nature of their involvement. It aims to recognize long-term dedication and service throughout one's career, as well as the impact of specific projects, initiatives, or contributions. For instance, individuals who have demonstrated outstanding mentorship over several decades or a person who has been in their IACUC administrator job for just one year and has implemented some new process that is particularly timely/has had monumental impact. The award seeks to celebrate the diverse ways people can positively influence the human and animal care and use research protections community.

Nominators should keep the following in mind:

PRIM&R membership is not required to be eligible for the award.
Individuals may self-nominate by completing this form.
Provide as much detail as possible about why and how the person you are nominating has in your view had a significant impact on the field and deserves the award.
PRIM&R is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, and encourages nominations that recognize contributions in this area and people from underrepresented communities.
Current PRIM&R Board of Directors are not eligible for the PRIM&R Service Award while on the PRIM&R Board of Directors or for one year after they roll off the Board.
Please refrain from submitting multiple nominations for the same individual as it does not increase their likelihood of being selected as the recipient.

The recipient of the PRIM&R Service Award will be notified by mid-summer, and the announcement of the award recipient will be made in the fall.
