The awards recognize the innovators and achievers in new generations of researchers who exemplify Tabor’s values of creativity and scientific excellence. Awards are given to the first authors of exceptional JBC papers that appeared in the preceding year. Students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty members who have not yet received tenure are eligible. The winners are invited to give talks as part of a special spotlight session at the ASBMB Annual Meeting, all expenses paid.
