SSIB - Alan N. Epstein Research Award

Organization: Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior

The Alan N. Epstein Research Award is endowed by Professor Epstein's family in his memory. Alan Epstein (1932-1992) was for many years a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a distinguished researcher in ingestive behavior. He was also an ardent supporter of SSIB and its fourth President. In keeping with Alan's scientific vision, this award honors an individual for a specific research discovery that has advanced the understanding of ingestive behavior. Members of SSIB who are less than 15 years beyond the date of their highest degree are eligible. The Award consists of a plaque, a check for 750 USD, and an invitation to speak during the Awards Symposium at the SSIB Annual Meeting.
