The award is conferred by the University of Louisville. Irv is currently a Senior Psychology Fellow in our department. He is the retired Irving and Dorothy Bernstein professor of adult psychiatry at the University of Minnesota. He is also the Sherrell J. Aston Professor of Psychology Emeritus at the University of Virginia. Irv is renowned for his influential work on etiological models of schizophrenia and particularly for the concept of the "endophenotype". Endophenotypes are underlying traits that are present in people who carry a risk for developing particular disorders but who have not necessarily developed the full symptomatic presentation. Irv will receive a $100,000 prize for his work. The history of the award is as follows, as summarized by the University of Louisville: The Grawemeyer Fund, housed at the University of Louisville, has added psychology to its distinguished list of awards categories. The first University of Louisville Grawemeyer Award for Psychology was given in 2001. This award is given annually. The $100,000 Grawemeyer award recognizes outstanding ideas in all areas of the discipline of Psychology. Nominations are judged on the basis of originality, creativity, scientific merit, and breadth of impact on the field of Psychology. Charles Grawemeyer, an industrialist, engineer and entrepreneur from Louisville, Ky., had a life-long passion for music, education and religious studies. Consequently, he chose to honor ideas in the arts, humanities and sciences. Rather than rewarding recent or lifetime personal achievements, Grawemeyer wanted to recognize single powerful ideas or creative works. We are extremely proud of Irv. Please join me in congratulating him on this outstanding honor!

Gottesman's career will be featured in the October issue of Minnesota Medicine. http://www1.umn.edu/twincities/faculty-staff/people/ Wed, 10 Oct 2012 17:27:01 +0000 Check out the current e-newsletter http://blog.lib.umn.edu/psy/psychair/2012/09/psychology_in_mn_e-newsletter.html 364721 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 18:27:53 +0000 Congratulations to Wilma Koutstaal! http://blog.lib.umn.edu/psy/psychair/2012/08/congratulations_to_wilma_kouts.html 363064 Dear Colleagues, Congratulations to Wilma Koutstaal, whose book The Agile Mind was co-awarded the 2012 APA William James Book Award.
