BRSG-NMRDG Annual Prize for Excellent Contribution to Magnetic Resonance

The prize is awarded jointly by the BRSG (Institute of Physics Magnetic Resonance Society) and the NMR Discussion Group (NMRDG) of the Royal Society of Chemistry on an annual basis.

Nominees can be of any nationality, and must be based in the UK or Ireland at the time of nomination and award.

The research to be recognised can have been partially but not exclusively carried out outside the UK or Ireland.

The prize is awarded to a researcher who has had an independent position for less than seven years (allowing for career breaks).

Prize

The winner is awarded £200 by the NMRDG.

The recipient is invited to give a lecture at either the BRSG or the NMRDG Christmas meeting.

Eligibility

The awardee cannot be a member of the prize committee.

The recipient does not have to be a member of the BRSG: The Magnetic Resonance Group, or the NMRDG.

Nominations

Nominees for the award are nominated and seconded by members of the BRSG or the NMRDG. A short case is made about why the candidate is suitable, which should make reference to one or more substantial contributions to the field.

Send nominations to John Griffin at [email protected] and copy in [email protected].

Selection

The prize is awarded by a committee made up of two representatives from the BRSG and two representatives from the NMRDG of the Royal Society of Chemistry. A majority decision of the prize committee is required.
