Your nominations help us to ensure equity in our awards and to better recognize research achievements made throughout the neuroscience community.

There are many awards celebrating women in neuroscience (listed below), most of which have a closing date of April 4th 2024, that are open to European nominations. Other SfN awards that are currently open for nomination are listed here.
