The U.S. National Academy of Sciences has entered into a partnership with the Einstein Foundation Berlin for the Einstein Foundation Award for Promoting Quality in Research. The international prize is presented annually to recognize outstanding researchers and institutions whose work helps “to advance the quality and robustness of research findings — whether they are breaking new ground, using and testing innovative methods, or collecting and sharing their data in novel ways.”
Established in 2021, the annual prize is awarded by the Einstein Foundation Berlin and the QUEST Center for Responsible Research at the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) in three categories: the Individual Award, which comes with 200,000 euros; the Institutional Award, also worth 200,000 euros; and the Early Career Award, which is presented with 100,000 euros. Award winners are selected by an international, multidisciplinary jury of distinguished scientists.
“A core mission of the NAS is to recognize and promote outstanding science,” said National Academy of Sciences President Marcia McNutt, who also chairs the award’s selection jury. “Therefore, I am pleased that the NAS is now a partner in this global award to honor work that fundamentally advances the quality, transparency, and reproducibility of science and research.”
Martin Rennert, Chair of the Einstein Foundation Berlin, added, “Excellence in science can never be a national achievement alone. It can only be reached – and recognized! – in a community of scientists and researchers regardless of borders. That is why the Einstein Foundation cooperates with the world’s most outstanding institutions, and we are very proud indeed to welcome the NAS as a partner and friend in our endeavor to advance scientific progress and research rigor.”
The 2024 recipients will be announced in November. For more information, please visit the award website: https://award.einsteinfoundation.de/
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit institution that was established under a congressional charter signed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. It recognizes achievement in science by election to membership, and — with the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Medicine — provides science, engineering, and health policy advice to the federal government and other organizations.
The Einstein Foundation Berlin is an independent, not-for-profit, science-led organization established as a foundation under civil law in 2009. It promotes international cutting-edge science and research across disciplines and institutions in and for Berlin. It has funded more than 240 researchers, including three Nobel laureates, over 70 projects, and eight Einstein Centers.
The Einstein Foundation Award for Promoting Quality in Research is funded by the Wübben Stiftung Wissenschaft. Additional resources are made available by the State of Berlin. The publisher Nature Portfolio, the Public Library of Science, the National Academy of Sciences, the Berlin University Alliance, the Max Planck Society and the Max Planck Foundation are supporting the Einstein Foundation Berlin and the QUEST Center for Responsible Research in promoting and implementing the award.
