The International Neural Network Society's Awards Program is 
established to recognize individuals who have made outstanding 
contributions in the field of Neural Networks.  Up to three awards, at 
most one in each category, are presented annually to senior, highly 
accomplished researchers for outstanding contributions made in the 
field of Neural Networks.

The Hebb, Helmholtz and Gabor Awards:
-  The Hebb Award - recognizes achievement in biological learning.
-  The Helmholtz Award - recognizes achievement in 
sensation/perception.
-  The Gabor Award - recognizes achievement in 
engineering/application.

Young Investigator Awards:
Up to two awards are presented annually to individuals with no more 
than five years postdoctoral experience and who are under forty years 
of age, for significant contributions in the field of Neural Networks.

Nominations:
1. The Awards Committee should receive nominations of no more than 
two pages in length, specifying:
-  The award category (Hebb, Helmholtz, Gabor, or Young 
Investigator)for which the candidate is being nominated.
-  The reasons for which the nominee should be considered for the 
award.
-  A list of at least five of the nominee's important and published 
papers.
2. The curriculum vitae of both the nominee and the nominator must be

5. Individuals may not receive the same INNS Award more than once.

All nominations will be considered by the Awards Committee and 
selected ones forwarded to the INNS Board of Governors, along with 
the Committee's recommendations for award recipients. Voting shall be 
performed by the entire BoG.

Please email the 2013 nominations along with their attachments directly

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. This money will go to help 
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming
year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out Fund 
Drive 2012 site!

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to: 
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to 
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
