    The 2021 Klerman & Freedman Awards

    The 2021 Klerman & Freedman Awards AUGUST 2021 1 The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation is pleased to honor and recognize the extraordinary work of six outstanding young researchers with our annual Klerman & Freedman Prizes for exceptional clinical and basic research in mental illness. The Klerman and Freedman prizes recognize innovative thinking and remarkable talent across the field of neuropsychiatry. The prizewinners are selected by committees of the Foundation’s distinguished Scientific Council. Led by Dr. Herbert Pardes, this group of 180 prominent mental health researchers rigorously evaluates every grant application, identifying the most promising, high-quality science. The Council carefully selects those with the greatest potential for significant breakthroughs. Recognition for scientists early in their career helps them go on to receive further funding and is a precursor to further accomplishments. These six prizewinners have previously received awards through the BBRF Young Investigator Grant program, which supports early-career scientists as they gather pilot data and “proof of concept” for their innovative clinical and basic research. Our Young Investigator grants provide the seed funding young researchers need to pursue their hypotheses, concepts, and strategies that our Scientific Council believes have the greatest chance of advancing the field. We applaud these researchers for their exceptional work, and we thank our generous donors for their support of brain and behavior research to fund scientists working to produce better treatments, cures, and methods of prevention for mental illness. Together we will dramatically improve the lives of those living with mental illness and enable more people to live full, happy, and productive lives. Sincerely, Jeffrey Borenstein, M.D.
