The British and Irish Region of the International Biometric Society (IBS-BIR), jointly with the Fisher Memorial Trust, award a prize every two years for young biometricians who are members of the British and Irish Region of the International Biometric Society. Young biometricians are defined as those within 5 years of completing full-time education. The award recognises the research of one paper published, or accepted for publication, in a refereed journal. This award comprises a diploma and a prize of £1000. This is the third time the award will be made; it was won in 2011 by Rachel McCrea (University of Kent) and in 2013 by Doug Speed (UCL).
We are now making a call for nominations for the 2015 award, with 31 March 2015 as the closing date for nominations. The full rules of the competition can be found at the BIR website: http://bir.biometricsociety.org/award. To make a nomination, simply send a copy of the paper with a covering message, to the BIR Regional Secretary ([log in to unmask]) before the closing date. Note that self-nominations are not allowed and, for co-authored papers, a full statement of the contribution from the young biometrician is also required.
