Forbes Norris Award

The Forbes Norris Award was established in 1994 to honour the legacy of Dr. Forbes “Ted” Norris (1928–1993), a neurologist who dedicated his life to supporting people living with ALS/MND. This prestigious award recognizes individuals who contribute to the management and advancement of understanding ALS/MND to the benefit of people living with the disease.

To be considered for the award, candidates must:

  • Play a major role in delivering outstanding ALS/MND patient care
  • Contribute significantly to medical literature in clinical management or basic science related to ALS/MND
  • Be part of a team engaged in ongoing research into ALS/MND care, management, or basic science

The award is presented annually during the opening ceremony of the MND Association’s International Symposium on ALS/MND. If no suitable candidate is nominated in a given year, the award will not be granted. Please note that current Board of Directors are not eligible for nomination.

The 2025 nomination period is open. The deadline for nominations is Monday, September 15.
