ISCB Overton Prize Award

ISCB Accomplishments by a Senior Scientist
|
| The Overton Prize was established by the ISCB in memory of G. Christian Overton, a major contributor to the field of bioinformatics and a member of the ISCB Board of Directors who died unexpectedly in 2000. The annual prize is awarded for outstanding accomplishment to a scientist in the early to mid-career stage (up to a decade post-degree or equivalent experience*), who has already made a significant contribution to the field of computational biology. |
|
| The Senior Scientist Accomplishment Award recognizes a member of the computational biology community who is more than two decades post-degree (or equivalent experience) and has made major contributions to the field of computational biology. |

| * ISCB recognizes that career paths may take many forms and that the definition of “early/mid-career” is fluid. ISCB supports researchers taking time off for maternity/paternity, care for a family member, an event of personal disability or other factors. A nominee may qualify for the Overton Prize or Innovator Award even though their actual years since degree is above the set threshold. It is the responsibility of the nominator to indicate any time off taken when submitting the nomination form. ISCB may deduct the equivalent time for the maternity/paternity leave, care for a family member or personal disability from the set award thresholds using guidance established by the European Research Council (page 19, paragraph 5). |

| - COMPETITIONS - |
ISCB Wikipedia/Wikidata Competition
|
| Wikipedia has become an important way to communicate all types of science to the public and Wikidata plays an increasingly growing role in that. ISCB aims to further its mission by increasing the quality of Wikipedia and Wikidata coverage of Computational biology, and by improving accessibility to this information via Wikipedia and its sister sites. The competition is open to students and trainees at any level either as individuals or as groups. |
