ISAPP recognizes scientific excellence through its three annual awards.
Every year, ISAPP selects recipients for three prestigious annual awards. Two of the awards recognize early career researchers, and one award honors an individual who has dedicated their career to advancing the science of probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, postbiotics or fermented foods. Recipients are selected by an award committee led by members of ISAPP’s Board of Directors.
Glenn Gibson Early Career Researcher Award
The Glenn Gibson Early Career Researcher Award is given annually to an early career researcher, no more than 5 years past their terminal degree, who has meaningfully contributed to advancing the science.
Gregor Reid Award for Outstanding Scholars in Developing Nations
The Gregor Reid Award for Outstanding Scholars in Developing Nations is granted annually to an early career researcher working in a low and middle income country (LMIC).
Sanders Award for Advancing Biotic Science
The Sanders Award for Advancing Biotic Science is given each year to an individual from any sector, including academia, industry or government, who has helped advance the biotics field throughout their career.
