Starting in 2022, INEBRIA instituted a new annual award in honor of our dear colleague Rich Saitz. The Richard Saitz Outstanding Mentorship Award is given to one individual each year, at the annual conference. The award seeks to recognize ‘mentorship that moves the field’ by supporting developing scholars in advancing the science and ensuring that brief interventions and related research is rigorous and relevant.
We are now welcoming nominations for the 2026 award! Nominations should follow the directions in the application form attached. The nomination can be written and submitted by one or more mentees. Alternatively, in a change from prior years,we also welcome mentors to self nominate. The awardee will be selected by members of the INEBRIA Coordinating Committee (CC). Please note that by the rules of the award process, the current INEBRIA President is not eligible for nomination.
In conjunction with the INEBRIA 2026 Conference, the award winner will have the opportunity to:
- Give a plenary presentation focused on their career as a researcher and mentor
- Receive free registration and subsidized travel to attend the conference, and will be a guest of honor at the conference dinner.
Due date for receipt of nominations is July 15, 2026.
Nominations should be sent to: inebria@gencat.cat, with CC to jennifer.mcneely@nyulangone.org.
We look forward to receiving your nominations!
