Each year, CRDF presents the George Brown Award for International Scientific Cooperation to recognize individuals for their critical work advancing international cooperation in science and technology.
The CRDF George Brown Award for International Scientific Cooperation furthers the late Congressman’s vision for international research cooperation and commemorates his important role in the efforts leading to CRDF’s creation. The award was first presented in 2005 to mark CRDF’s tenth anniversary.
The George Brown Award is open to any individual in the policy, business, science, research or technology community who has contributed substantially to advancing international science and technology cooperation.
In 2010, CRDF is pleased to recognize three individuals for their scientific and humanitarian achievements: Dr. Bruce Alberts, editor-in-chief of Science, professor emeritus at the University of California, San Francisco, and the former president of the National Academy of Sciences; the late Dr. Norman Borlaug, a Nobel Peace Prize awardee and president of the World Food Prize; and U.S. Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN).
