Subject: Please advertise NINDS Landis Award nominations for Outstanding Mentorship: [Month/day/year] deadline

Dear NINDS grantee,

As researchers, we often acknowledge the important role that our mentors have in guiding

us, but these mentorship achievements are rarely incentivized in tangible ways. To recognize

the contributions and importance of outstanding mentors, the National Institute for

Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has

established the NINDS Landis Award for Outstanding Mentorship, named in honor of

former NINDS Director Dr. Story Landis, for her exceptional influence on scientific research

and mentorship. Now in its fifth year, NINDS is seeking nominations for this year’s award.

Nominations are due on [Month/day/year]. Read more about the Landis Award winners

here.

The Landis Award provides $100,000 to support selected investigators’ efforts to foster the

career advancement of trainees. Nominations will only be accepted from a nominee’s

current or former mentees. This year, we seek nominations for faculty mentors who are

more than XX years from the start of their first tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions (i.e.,

started their first tenure-track position in calendar year 20XX or earlier).

Please advertise to your trainee communities! If they had/have an outstanding mentor

who they believe should be recognized for their outstanding dedication to mentorship,

please invite them to submit a nomination by completing this form no later than

[Month/day/year].

Best,

Stephen J. Korn, Ph.D.
