Call for nominations–ASA’s various awards for Excellence in the Field of Aging

Nominations for the 2012 Awards are now open!

To submit a nomination, go here.

We’ve extended the deadline! Nominations must now be received by October 31, 2011 (the prior deadline was October 12).

Every year ASA recognizes a number of individuals and organizations for their contributions to ASA, to the field of aging, and to older adults. At left are links to view descriptions and current and previous winners of these awards programs—as well as criteria for each award. All nominations will require completing a few questions about the nominee’s experience, a letter of recommendation and the biosketch of the nominee, except for the Graduate Student Research Award which has specific criteria.

The 2012 Awards will be presented at the Aging in America Conference, to be held in Washington DC, March 28–April 1, 2012.
