> The Russell Varian Lecture and Prize

> The Russell Varian prize honors the memory of the pioneer behind the first commercial Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectrometers and co-founder of Varian Associates. The prize is awarded to a researcher based on a single innovative contribution (a single paper, patent, lecture, or piece of hardware) that has proven of high and broad impact on state-of-the-art NMR technology. The prize is designed to recognize the initial contribution that laid the foundations for a specific technology of great importance in state-of-the-art NMR. It is sponsored by Agilent Technologies and currently carries a monetary award of 15,000 Euro. The award ceremony will take place at the ICMRBS 2014 meeting in Dallas, Texas, USA, 24th to 29th August, 2014, with the winner delivering the Russell Varian Lecture.

> Rules for the Russell Varian Prize
>
> Only single pieces of work are considered (a paper, a lecture, a patent, etc).
> In the case of multiple authorship, the prize is awarded to the author with the largest creative and innovative share of the contribution. In the exceptional case of truly equal shares in the contribution, the Prize may be split between two authors.
> No individual may receive the prize more than once.
> Prizewinners become members of the Advisory Board for the Russell Varian Prize that evaluates future nominations and makes recommendations to the Prize Committee.
> Call for Nominations
>
> Nominations must be forwarded by email to the Secretary of the Prize Committee, Gareth Morris, at g.a.morris_at_manchester.ac.uk. The deadline for nominations is February 17th, 2014. Nominations should be laid out in the format of a publishable laudatio proposal (cf. earlier laudatios, at http://www.chem.agilent.com/en-US/products-services/Instruments-Systems/Nuclear-Magnetic-Resonance/Pages/varian-prize-winners.aspx) that in the case of multiple authorship must include an explanation of why the nominee is the most innovative author behind the paper. Attention is further drawn to the fact that the Russell Varian prize rewards the earliest seed paper of an important technology, rather than later more comprehensive and highly cited papers.
