Brain & Behavior Research Foundation INTERNATIONAL30th Anniversary Celebration AWARDS DINNER FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27th The Pierre 2017 Celebrating our Pardes Humanitarian Prizewinners and Outstanding Achievement Prizewinners WELCOME Welcome to our 2017 International Awards Dinner and our celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation. This year’s program honors our 2017 Outstanding Achieve- ment Prizewinners, the recipient of the Pardes Humanitarian Prize in Mental Health, and, includes a special Pardes Humanitarian Prize Honorary Tribute to the late Constance E. Lieber, whose leadership as President and President Emeritus of our Foundation, touched so many lives. Connie was one of the world’s greatest public advocates for mental health and psychiatric research and care and she continues to be our guiding light. This year’s Pardes Humanitarian Prize honors Doctors Without Borders/Médecins San Frontières (MSF) for their transformative work in providing mental health care as an integrated component of medical aid during natural and man-made emergencies and chronic crises. Founded in 1971, MSF provides aid in nearly 60 countries and received the 1999 Nobel Peace Prize for its independent, rapid, and fearless work during humanitarian catastrophes. Bestowed annually since 2014, the Pardes Prize recognizes a person(s) or organization whose human- itarian work is transformative and of great magnitude, changing the lives and bringing the joy of living to those facing challenges to mental health. The Prize focuses public attention on the burden of mental illness on individuals and on society, and the urgent need to expand and enhance mental health services both in the developed world and in developing countries. The Prize was named in honor of Dr. Herbert Pardes, the first recipient of the award. One of Dr. Pardes’ many contributions to our field has been his founding and continued leadership of the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation’s Scientific Council, a volunteer group of 177 pre-eminent mental health professionals across disciplines in brain and behavior research, who select Foundation Grantees from more than 1,200 grant applications each year. Nine innovative and exceptional scientists—many of them Foundation Grantees—will also be honored this evening for their contributions to the advancement of our understanding and treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma, and child and adolescent psychiatry. Their work is distinguished by their use of cutting-edge technology and a devotion to finding personalized therapies that will improve our care for those living with mental illness, as well as seeking preventive and diagnostic tools for the future. We are delighted to have you here to celebrate the impactful progress being made in brain and behav- ior research. Our shared commitment to scientific advancement will change what it means to live with a mental illness and pave the way for more people to live full, happy and productive lives. Thank you for your ongoing support. Enjoy the evening!
