Nominations for Dr. Charles Beard Research Excellence Award to be accepted by USPOULTRY

USPOULTRY and the USPOULTRY Foundation are accepting nominations for the Dr. Charles Beard Research Excellence Award through July 5.

The goal of the award is to recognise outstanding completed research projects — funded by USPOULTRY or the USPOULTRY Foundation — which have made a significant positive impact on the poultry industry. The nominee may be recognised for multiple completed USPOULTRY research projects, all focused on the same subject area or encompassing multiple subject areas.

Nominations can be accepted from the universities and research institutions that conduct poultry research, as well as from anyone in the research community or any USPOULTRY member, staff and sponsored committee.

Nominations should focus on research projects completed within the past five years but may include projects completed at an earlier time if a project's impact has only recently become recognised.

The recipient of the Dr. Charles Beard Research Excellence Award will be the primary researcher who conducted the recognised research project(s). A cash prize of US$1,500 will be awarded. The award will be presented at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta, Georgia, the United States, during the International Poultry Scientific Forum held by Dr. Heard and the chairman of the Foundation Research Advisory Committee.
