The Society for In Vitro Biology established the Fellow Award in 2004 to recognize Society members who have provided outstanding service in helping the Society develop and carry out its program over a long and sustained period of time. A nomination application must be submitted to the awards committee by January 15 of the application award year. Applications may be submitted by email to [email protected]. A nomination packet is valid for two consecutive years provided the nominee meets the award criteria. After the second year, if the nominee was not awarded but still meets the criteria, a new nomination packet is required and may be submitted.
