The Early Career Impact Awards from the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences (FABBS) recognize scientists who have made major research contributions to the sciences of mind, brain, and behavior. The goal is to enhance public visibility of these sciences and the particular research through the dissemination efforts of FABBS in collaboration with the member societies and award winners. Nominations are encouraged for individuals who have made outstanding research contributions, especially those who have also increased awareness of science through outreach activities to the public (e.g., community talks, high school demos) or communication with the media (e.g., interviews, blogs).
Nominees must be early-career scientists of FABBS member societies (see FABBS membership) within ten years of completing their PhD. Self-nominations are accepted. Awards are limited by societies. Each society in the rotation scheme will have one award recipient.
Nominations close on October 3, 2025.
