CSBBCS / SCSCCC Awards
The CSBBCS / SCSCCC hands out up to four faculty awards annually as well as student awards for presentations given at our Annual Meeting.
This award shall be made to an individual who, in the opinion of the selection committee, has made a significant contribution to the study of brain, behaviour, and cognitive science. The committee shall be composed of the five immediate past presidents of the Canadian Society for Brain, Behaviour, and Cognitive Science (BBCS), and shall be chaired by the least recent past president.
In making its selection the committee will consider the following three criteria:
- An individual whose research has been sustained and meritorious and has enhanced the knowledge base of brain, behaviour, and cognition,
- An individual whose training of students, postdoctoral fellows and colleagues has had a significant impact on brain, behaviour, and cognitive science, and
- An individual whose influence has been exerted through leadership as a theorist or spokesperson for the discipline.
Normally, the awardee shall have conducted a significant proportion of his/her research training or disciplinary work within Canada. The awardee is invited to give the Donald O. Hebb Distinguished Contribution address at the annual BBCS meeting of that year.
Richard C. Tees Distinguished Leadership Award
This award acknowledges an individual who has contributed outstanding service to the CSBBCS and to advancing research in brain, behaviour, and cognitive science in Canada. This is not an annual award but will be awarded by the CSBBCS Executive to recognize extraordinary leadership and service to the CSBBCS community. In the event that an Award is made, a presentation will take place during the annual meeting of the Society.
Nominations remain active for three years. Therefore, nominations submitted for the award in the years 2017 and 2018 need not be re-submitted; they will be considered automatically by the selection committee. The Executive Committee of the CSBBCS serves as the Tees Award Committee. Members of the decision committee are not eligible for nomination.
