Albert and Ellen Grass Lecture
This
lecture, presented by a high-profile speaker selected by SfN, is given
each year on Monday evening of the SfN Annual Meeting. The
Albert and Ellen Grass Lecture is one of the featured scientific
events of the conference.
This
prize was established in 1979 in honor of Donald B. Lindsley Ph.D. for
"meritorious research in the area of behavioral neuroscience." Dr.
Lindsley was one of the early Trustees of The Grass Foundation. A selection committee of SfN members reviews Ph.D.
theses that were approved in the prior year and nominated for the
prize. The SfN Committee awards the prize.
The
Foundation funds the SfN-sponsored Ricardo Miledi Program for
Neuroscience Training that enhances the training and career development
of Latin American and Caribbean neuroscientists. Dr. Miledi was an early Trustee of The Grass Foundation.
