Dr Christina Fleischmann (1945-1996)
The Christina Fleischmann Award to Young Women Investigators
The rules for this ISICR award are the same as for the
Seymour and Vivian Milstein Young Investigator Award (see
above) except for gender and the candidate must have
received a Ph.D or M.D. degree within the previous 10 years.
This award is made possible through the generosity of the
Fleischmann Foundation and is dedicated to the memory of
ISICR member and outstanding interferon research scientist
Christina Fleischmann. To apply for this award, submit the
2011 ISICR Award Application by July 1, 2011.
The Sidney & Joan Pestka Graduate and Post-Graduate Award and Post-Graduate Award for
Excellence in Interferon Research
Sponsored by PBL InterferonSource
Criteria: The Sidney & Joan Pestka Graduate and Post-
Graduate Awards are targeted to graduate students
and post-doctoral fellows who have begun to make
an impact in interferon research. The Awards are
designed to fill the gap among the awards
currently offered by the ISICR to more senior
investigators—The Seymour and Vivian Milstein
Young Investigator Award, the Christina
Fleishmann Award, Honorary Membership, and
The Seymour & Vivian Milstein Award. Candidates
must be actively working in interferon research but
need not be ISICR members.
Award: $3500 cash award, $1500 travel grant, a $2500
PBL InterferonSource product credit for each
awardee, and a complementary one-year ISICR
membership.
Each awardee will receive a check in the amount of
$5000 payable to the awardee at the annual ISICR
Awards Ceremony. Should an awardee not attend
the annual ISICR meeting, a travel grant will not be
awarded and that awardee will receive a check in
the amount of $3500 following the ISICR meeting.
Process:
Each awardee will receive a $2500 product credit
from PBL InterferonSource good for one year from
the date of the award. This is an annual award, and
a recipient may receive an award only once.
However, an individual who receives the Graduate
Award remains eligible for the Post-Graduate
Award. One award will be given to a graduate
student and one award to a post-doctoral fellow
where candidates of suitable caliber are identified.
In years where a suitable candidate is not
identified, an award will not be bestowed.
The Sidney & Joan Pestka Graduate and Post-
Graduate Awards application package consists of
a nomination form completed by an active ISICR
member (NOT the nominee). Applicants should
submit a statement describing his/her current
interferon-related research, as well as a
curriculum vitae. Additional supporting materials,
such as posters and publications, are welcome.
No proprietary or confidential information can be
included in the application. To apply for this
award, submit the 2011 ISICR Award Application
by July 1, 2011.
