1. Awards Criteria

Awards are designed to recognize excellence in the areas consistent with SPR’s mission. The specific awards are as follows:

  1. The Presidential Award is given to an individual or a team of individuals who have made a major specific contribution to prevention science research. This award is intended to be a “lifetime achievement” award for a significant body of research or theory in any area related to prevention that has had a major impact on the field. The award can be for an entire research program extending over many years or for a single study that changed the field substantially. The awardee(s) may represent the fields of epidemiology, statistical methodologies, research design, or prevention strategies including interventions and policies.
  2. The Prevention Science Award is given to an individual or team of individuals for a significant body of research that has applied scientific methods to test one or more preventive interventions or policies. This award recognizes individuals for the work of developing and testing prevention strategies.
  3. The Public Service Award is given to an individual or team of individuals in recognition of extensive and effective advocacy (to include dissemination and diffusion) for prevention science and science/research-based programs.
  4. The Translational Science Award is given to an individual or a team of individuals in recognition for contributions to the field of prevention science in the area of Type 1 or Type 2 translational research.
  5. The Nan Tobler Award for Review of the Prevention Science Literature is given to an individual or a team of individuals for contributions to the summarization or articulation of the empirical evidence relevant to prevention science.
  6. The Advances in Culture and Diversity in Prevention Science Award (formerly the Community, Culture and Prevention Science Award) is given to an individual or a team of individuals for contributions to the field of prevention science in the area of culture.  Recipients of this award are recognized for work to enhance understanding of culture in prevention science and the development of and adaptation of effective prevention strategies for traditionally underserved and/or underrepresented populations, including racial and ethnic minorities.
  7. The International Collaborative Prevention Research Award is given to an individual or a team of individuals for contributions to the field of prevention science in the area of international collaboration.
  8. The Service to SPR Award is given to an individual or a team of individuals in recognition of outstanding service to the organization.
  9. The Friend of ECPN Award is to be presented to a mid-career or senior preventionist who has supported and encouraged early career persons or issues. The recipient of the Friend of ECPN award will have been active in supporting early career activities, either by helping ECPN as an organization; promoting training, funding, or early career involvement in prevention efforts; or encouraging early career preventionists in their work.
  10. The ECPN John B. Reid Early Career Award is presented to a person early in their career in prevention. This award will be bestowed on someone who has shown a commitment to prevention science through outstanding contributions to research, policy or practice.
  11. The ECPN Service Award is presented to someone who has shown a commitment to the development and advancement of ECPN. The intention of this award is to recognize contributions above and beyond traditional steering committee responsibilities.
