Forbes Norris Award

Please note that current Board of Directors are not eligible for nomination.

The Forbes Norris Award, first presented in 1994, honours the memory of Dr. Forbes “Ted” Norris (1928-1993), a neurologist who dedicated his career to helping people with ALS/MND. The purpose of this prestigious award is to encourage a combination of two major qualities: management of and advances in understanding ALS/MND, to the benefit of people living with the disease. The criteria for the Forbes Norris award are that the nominee must be; a major participant in the delivery of outstanding ALS/MND patient care; a significant contributor to the medical literature on ALS/MND clinical management or basic science; and a member of team/s undertaking ongoing research into ALS/MND care, management and/or basic science.

Nominations for the Forbes Norris Award are considered annually; the awards are presented each year during the opening ceremony of the International Symposium on ALS/MND.  If there are no qualified candidates nominated in a particular year, the award will not be granted.
