Call for Nominations: Kauffman Foundation Outstanding Postdoctoral Entrepreneur Award

[Debra L. Martin]

Deadline: November 2, 2009

The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and the National Postdoctoral 
Association are accepting nominations for the inaugural Kauffman 
Foundation Outstanding Postdoctoral Entrepreneur Award, which 
recognizes and celebrates a scientific researcher who has 
successfully commercialized his or her discoveries through 
entrepreneurship. The researcher must have completed postdoctoral 
research in the United States at some point in his/her career.

Nominations for the award are open to scientific researchers who have 
completed postdoctoral research in the United States and have founded 
companies to commercialize their intellectual property. Nominees will 
be evaluated primarily on their technical innovation and the social 
value their enterprises have produced.

The researcher selected to win the Outstanding Postdoctoral 
Entrepreneur Award will receive a $10,000 honorarium. A second award, 
the Emerging Postdoctoral Entrepreneur Award, will present a $2,500 
honorarium to a promising postdoctoral entrepreneur. Both awards will 
be presented at the National Postdoctoral Association's 8th Annual 
Meeting on March 12-14, 2010, in Philadelphia.

Nomination forms are available on the National Postdoctoral 
Association's Web site:
