WIMIN Award Nominations
Deadline: April 15, 2024
With the WIMIN Outstanding Leadership in Molecular Imaging Award, WIMIN wishes to recognize the immense commitment to leadership required to be a successful molecular imaging scientist/professional while strongly advocating for advancing women’s careers in academia and industry.
This award is intended to recognize an outstanding senior female molecular imaging scientist/professional who has furthered the advancement of women in STEM through leadership, mentorship, and active support of WIMIN’s goals and vision.
With the WIMIN Rising Star and Mid Career Awards, WIMIN wishes to recognize the contributions of exceptional early and mid career women scientists (<10 years post-terminal degree, and between 10 and 20 years, respectively, excluding periods of less than full-time employment) who are demonstrating outstanding potential for contributions to the field of molecular imaging. This award is also intended to recognize and encourage leadership potential to help promote the retention and advancement of women in science. Awardees are invited to become members of WMIS and WIMIN and continue to be active in molecular imaging-focused research or industry.
