The Newburger-Bellinger Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Award was established in 2013 by the Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Outcome Collaborative to honor Jane Newburger and David Bellinger, pioneers in research designed to understand and improve neurodevelopmental outcomes for children with heart disease. The award is presented annually during the Scientific Sessions of the Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Outcome Collaborative.
Newburger-Bellinger Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Award nominations for 2023 will be accepted between March 1 and April 3.
Criteria for nomination: A cardiologist, surgeon, anesthesiologist, neurologist, developmental pediatrician, geneticist, psychologist, nurse, PhD researcher, or other neurodevelopmental professional who has made significant contributions to clinical care, research knowledge, teaching or community advocacy leading to improvements in the neurodevelopmental outcomes of children with heart disease. Please forward this page to other colleagues who may be interested. Membership in CNOC is not a factor.
Submit a letter of support that details the nominee’s significant contributions to Sarah Kelly PsyD, CNOC Secretary. All letters of nomination will be reviewed by the Steering Committee, and all nominees notified in May. Usually presented annually during the Scientific Sessions of the Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Outcome Collaborative, the selected 2023 award recipient will deliver a keynote address during CNOC’s societal partner track of the 8th World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery (WCPCCS), August 27-September 1 in Washington DC.
