International Association for Dental Research Isaac Schour Memorial Award
Supported by an endowment provided by Dr. Bernard G. Sarnat and Rhoda G. Sarnat through the Sarnat Family Foundation
The IADR Isaac Schour Memorial Award honors Dr. Isaac Schour, an early leader in international dental research and the 18th President of the IADR (1941-42). Dr. Schour was Professor of Histology (1935-64) and Dean (1955-64) of the University of Illinois, College of Dentistry. The award was funded by the University of Illinois from 1967-1981 and is currently funded through a generous endowment provided by Dr. Bernard G. Sarnat, a former graduate student of Schour, and Rhoda G. Sarnat through the Sarnat Family Foundation. The award recognizes outstanding scientific contributions in the anatomic sciences, including tissue engineering, tissue regeneration, and stem cell research as it relates to the oral, dental, or craniofacial complex. It is intended to confer the highest honor in the field of dental and craniofacial research and honor those scientists who, through research in this field, bring about significant advances in oral health.

About:
The Science Awards Committee has the responsibility of selecting awardees from among the nominations of renowned scientists submitted by Association members. The Committee consists of the Science Awards chair and the subcommittee chair for each award. The subcommittee members are composed of the previous award recipients. Appointments are made annually for a period of five years on a rotation basis. Any IADR member may nominate a candidate for a science award. Once a nomination is made, it is considered each year for five years unless the nominee is selected for an award during this period. After the fifth year, the nomination is withdrawn unless a re-nomination is received.
Eligibility:
• Science Awards subcommittees are composed of previous winners of the awards; therefore, subcommittee members may not be nominated again for the same award. Members of Science Awards subcommittees may be nominated by another subcommittee. Subcommittee members who have been appointed by the IADR President-elect and who have not already received their subcommittee's award may be nominated for any award; however, appointees must resign if nominated for the award of the subcommittee on which they currently serve.
• ONLY IADR members may be nominated.
• Posthumous nominations are not acceptable.
• Nomination of an individual for more than one award in the same year is discouraged.
• No person should be awarded two IADR Science Awards for the same research, with the exception of the Edward H. Hatton and Young Investigator Awards. Any nominations for a second award must include written evidence that the nomination is for work in a different field of research.
• Nomination of current IADR and Division Officers is discouraged.
• All nominations made within the past five years must be reconsidered in the current selection unless the nominee was selected for an award.
Procedures:
Any IADR member may nominate a candidate for a science award. All nominations must be submitted via the online system.
The following information MUST accompany each nomination and submitted electronically.
Only nominations submitted online will be accepted.
1. Short statement (no more than 700 words) describing the reasons you are nominating the individual for the particular award; and
