    • Early Career Scientist Award - recognizing a successful individual active in the plant breeding field.
    • Lifetime Achievement Award - recognizing an individual who has given distinguished long-term service to the plant breeding field in such areas as research, education, outreach and leadership.
  • These awards will highlight the achievements of individuals and are not based on the nature or source of employment. The nominee does not have to be a member of the NAPB.
  • A description of each award and the procedures for nominating a candidate are included with this announcement and on our website. Annual NAPB Meeting information can also be found at the meeting site http://2010plantbreedingmeeting.eventbrite.com.
