The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) is accepting nominations for the John D. Boice, Jr. Young Investigator Award. This award is given to recognize an early-career professional engaged in some aspect of science pertaining to radiation protection and measurements. While there is no specific age requirement, in keeping with the intent of the award, early in career is typically considered to be within 10 years of completion of training (e.g., post-doc, residency, fellowship), which most often is under age 40 years. The work upon which the nomination is based must be in one or more of the areas of radiation research represented by one or more of the Program Area Committees of the NCRP.

The recipient of this award will receive $500 and a travel grant to attend the annual meeting of the NCRP where they will be recognized for their accomplishments. In addition, the awardee will be given electronic and hard copies of five NCRP reports of their choosing.

More information is available on the NCRP website. All required nominating materials should be sent to Laura Atwell by 1 August 2021.
