Brain & Behavior Research Foundation INTERNATIONAL AWARDS DINNER FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1st The Pierre 2019 Celebrating our Pardes Humanitarian Prizewinners and Outstanding Achievement Prizewinners WELCOME Welcome to our 2019 International Awards Dinner. This year’s Pardes Humanitarian Prize in Mental Health honors Dr. William T. Carpenter, Jr., a member of the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation Scientific Council, and a BBRF prizewinner and grant recipient. Dr. Carpenter has been a transformative force in psychiatry for more than 40 years, dramatically changing how we treat schizophrenia, reduce stigma, and enhance the ethics of treatment and research. Dr. Carpenter has taken a person-centered, rather than an illness-centered view of schizophrenia which has led to more compassionate care for people with this illness. He has played a critical role in shifting the focus of treatment to the earliest stages of the illness, when interventions may have their most profound impact and maximize the likelihood of recovery. The 2019 Honorary Pardes Humanitarian Prize in Mental Health is being award- ed to Cynthia Germanotta and Born This Way Foundation for their extraordinary accomplishments and their commitment to supporting the wellness of young people and empowering them to create a kinder and braver world. Bestowed annually since 2014, the Pardes Prize recognizes a person(s) or organization whose humanitarian 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 BBRF's Scientific Council, a volunteer group of 184 mental health experts across disciplines in brain and behavior research who review all Foundation grant applications and recommend the most promising ideas to fund. Tonight nine innovative and exceptional scientists—many of them Foundation grantees— will also be honored for their contributions to the advancement of our understanding and treatment of depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Their work is distinguished by their use of cutting-edge technology and devotion to finding innovative new therapies that will improve our care for those living with mental illness, as well as their efforts to seek preventive and diagnostic tools for the future. Our Outstanding Achievement Prizewinners are selected by special committees of the BBRF's Scientific Council. We are delighted you are here to celebrate the progress being made in brain and behavior research. Our shared commitment to scientific advancement will change what it means to live with mental illness and will help pave the way for more people to live full, happy and productive lives. Thank you for your ongoing support. Enjoy the evening!
