This prestigious award is made in memory of Professor T J (Jim) Neale, an outstanding researcher and contributor to the society who died tragically at a relatively young age.
Any member of the Society who applies or is nominated by another member, and who fulfils the criteria, shall be considered for the award.
The Scientific Programme and Education Committee shall recommend to the Council the candidate who is deemed to have contributed most to the emergence or furtherance of knowledge in a particular field of Nephrology. Preference will be given to applicants who are within 12 years of embarking on their own research programme, and to applicants considered to have contributed most to Australian and/or New Zealand nephrology.
Notes
(a) 'Contributed most' will be judged on papers published or submitted, invited lectureships, or awards from academic or scientific institutions
(b) 'Their own research programme" refers to research for which the candidate has provided both the intellectual drive and supervision of a research group or program and would include only work started after the candidate has been awarded their doctorate, or has achieved and equivalent level of independence in research. A record of which research grants each candidate has won as Chief Investigator will provide evidence of their leadership role in respect of the research under consideration.
(c) In addition to an accurate list of all peer reviewed publications (published or in press only, with impact factors and citations), published abstracts, and a list of research grants (recording all Chief Investigators for each), lectureships and awards, each candidate should provide the Scientific Programme and Education Committee with a one page précis of how their research theme has developed, and what significance contributions have been made by others to the intellectual content or laboratory supervision of the research programme.
(d) The Scientific Programme and Education Committee may call upon independent external assessors, who may be members of the Society, to make recommendations for the award.
(e) The Council of the Society reserves the right not to make an award in any particular year.
The prize is formally awarded at the 2011 Annual Scientific Meeting. The selected candidate will make an address at the 2011 Annual Scientific Meeting on their particular field of knowledge.
