Awards
The Flux Society is pleased to be able to offer awards to support our members at every stage of their careers in developmental cognitive neuroscience.
Outstanding contributions are meant to reflect a holistic set of scientific and social impact metrics. These include traditional metrics of scientific success - originality, excellence, significance, rigorousness - as well as commitment to the to the field, and efforts to engage in science communication and outreach, foster open science and advocacy for diversity and inclusion. The Flux Society values contributions from scientists across the globe and thus encourages nominations within each award for scientists who reflect the diversity of our membership. The Flux Society further values connecting scientific work with the community such as through participatory science efforts, working on inclusion in their laboratories, teaching, and research, or making high quality science more accessible to stakeholders.

Flux Awards Selection Process
The selection process for the Flux Awards is rigorous and thorough, ensuring that the most deserving candidates are chosen. This year, the Flux Awards Committee leadership selected members for subcommittees to ensure a broad range of experience, diversity, and inclusiveness across the Society.
These subcommittee members carefully review and evaluate the nominations based on the nominees' contributions to the field, the impact of their research, and their commitment to advancing our understanding of developmental cognitive neuroscience. They pay careful attention to avoid conflicts of interest throughout the process.
After their individual reviews, the subcommittee members meet to discuss their evaluations and vote on a final candidate. The subcommittee then sends the nomination to the Flux Board of Directors, who review it to ensure fairness and avoid conflicts of interest. This process ensures that the most outstanding nominations from our esteemed community are recognized.
