NOMINATIONS FOR THE RAMAZZINI
AWARDS
The Awards Committee is requesting nominees for the 2022
Ramazzini Award. Fellows are invited to submit nominations to the Awards
Committee by sending them to the
Committee Chair Henry Anderson (anderha@sbcglobal.net). Please include some background on the nominee including why you
believe that the person deserves this award and their CV or biographical
sketch. Henry will contact you directly if more information is needed.
In addition, several years ago, the CR created another award for
people who have made a significant contribution to promote occupational and
environmental health issues but may not fit the full criteria for the Ramazzini
Award. This person may be a leader of a
labor organization, an activist organization, or similar group that is working
on a specific issue or general occupational or environmental health issues. The
emphasis should be on issues where the collegium has been active. The CR awards
this when necessary. Also, in this case you should contact Henry.
