CEDAR Prize Lecturers

The CEDAR Prize lecture was instituted in 1989 and honors an outstanding science contribution to CEDAR. The recipient of the award presents an invited 40 minute talk at the annual CEDAR meeting in June. The nomination is based on a research paper reported in a peer-reviewed publication within the previous four years. The CEDAR phase III document describes the priorities of our community, and preference should be given to colleagues moving in those directions. The Prize Lecture is open to non-U.S. citizens as well as U.S. citizens, provided a strong connection to CEDAR can be demonstrated.

A nomination consists of three items:

1. Name
2. Paper Citation(s)
3. A brief statement of why the research is important.

Nominations are usually solicited early each year.

The following is a list of the CEDAR Prize Lecturers and titles of their talks. The annual CEDAR video tapes started to include the CEDAR Prize Lecture beginning in 1991, and hard copies of the Prize Lecture are available beginning in 1992.
