Next Generation Award

society for neuroscience(sfn )

The Next Generation Award recognizes SfN chapter members who have made outstanding contributions to public communication, outreach, and education about neuroscience through activities such as classroom engagement, social media campaigns, etc, typically at the high school level or below.

Recipients receive a $750 travel award to help defray the cost of attending SfN’s annual meeting and a $300 honorarium, plus complimentary registration. The recipient's chapter receives a $2,000 chapter grant to be used to continue the chapter's outreach efforts in the following year. The SfN president presents the awards at a lecture at the SfN annual meeting. When awarded to a group at the pre/postdoctoral level, each individual receives a $300 honorarium and the chapter should either appoint one person to receive the $750 travel award or determine how to split it among the members.

If you would like to nominate an SfN chapter for the efforts and accomplishments of the chapter as a whole, consider nominating them for the Chapter of the Year Award. For more information, please review the Awards and Prizes FAQs.

Nominees must demonstrate outstanding contributions to public outreach and science education activities for SfN or its local chapters.
Nominees must show readiness to take leadership role(s) designing and/or executing chapter outreach efforts the following year (documented in the chapter’s Annual Report).
Nominees must be part of an active chapter that have submitted an Annual Report within the past year. For more information, visit our Chapter Annual Report page or email chapters@sfn.org with any questions.
At the Predoctoral/Postdoctoral level: Nominees must be a current predoctoral or postdoctoral student. In cases where cooperation was essential for the success of the activity, a group of up to four predoctoral/postdoctoral students is allowed.
At the Junior Faculty level: Nominees must be a scientist within 10 years of receiving an advanced degree.
Nominees may not be a recipient of another SfN travel award in the same year.
The recipient must not be a member of a chapter recognized with a Chapter of the Year Award in the same calendar year.

If your nominee’s activities are focused at the undergraduate/graduate level, please consider nominating them for the Award for Education in Neuroscience. If you are unsure, please nominate them for both awards; the committees will decide which category fits them best.

If your nominee is a co-founder/co-author of the central activity/textbook that you’re nominating them for, please consider nominating the entire team. Nominating only one individual is possible, but should be accompanied by a statement of why they deserve more of the credit than the other partners in the activity.
