The International Behavioural and Neural Genetics Society (IBANGS) was founded in 1996.[1] The goal of IBANGS is "to promote the field of neurobehavioural genetics".[2]
Profile
Mission
The IBANGS mission statement is to promote the field of neurobehavioural genetics[2] by:
organizing annual meetings[3][4][5] to promote excellence in research on behavioural and neural genetics
publishing a scholarly journal, Genes, Brain and Behavior in collaboration with Wiley-Blackwell[6][7]
Awards
Each year IBANGS recognizes top scientists in the field of neurobehavioral genetics with:[8][9]
The IBANGS Distinguished Investigator Award for distinguished lifetime contributions to neurobehavioral genetics
The IBANGS Young Scientist Award for promising young scientists
Travel Awards to attend an IBANGS Annual Meeting for students, postdocs, and junior faculty, financed by a meeting grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism[10][11][12]
A Distinguished Service Award is given on a more irregular basis.[13]
History
IBANGS was founded in 1996 as the European Behavioural and Neural Genetics Society, with Hans-Peter Lipp as its founding president.[1] The name and scope of EBANGS were changed to International at the first meeting of the society in Orléans, France in 1997.[1][14] IBANGS is a founding member of the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies.[2] The following persons have been president of the society: Richard Brown (2010-2011), Jacqueline Crawley (2009-2010), Christopher Janus (2008-2009), Dan Goldowitz (2007-2008), Tamara J. Phillips (2006-2007), Hee-Sup Shin (2005-2006), Robert W. Williams (2004-2005), Mara Dierssen (2003-2004), John Crabbe (2002-2003), Fred van Leuven (2001-2002), Douglas Wahlsten (2000-2001), Wim E. Crusio (1999-2000), and Hans-Peter Lipp (1996-1999).[15] The current president is Mary-Anne Enoch (2011-2012).[16]
