[psych-hr] Jonathan Mann Award for Global Health and Human Rights

The Jonathan Mann Award for Global Health and Human Rights

The Jonathan Mann Award for Global Health and Human Rights has been
established to honor this remarkable individual and help to call
continued attention to the vital links between health and human
rights.

Three leading international health and human rights organizations -
Association François-Xavier Bagnoud, Doctors of the World, and the
Global Health Council - have come together as partners to support the
Jonathan Mann Award.

The Award is presented annually to a leading practitioner in health
and human rights, be it an individual or organization.  The Award is a
$20,000 cash prize to allow its recipients a measure of freedom to
pursue their work in the important area of global health and human
rights.

A blue ribbon committee of individuals who have championed
international health and human rights will select the Award recipient.
The 2000 and 2001 committees included Dr. Peter Piot, of UNAIDS, Dr.
Helene Gayle of CDC, Dr. Barry Bloom of Harvard University, Dr.
Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Health, Senator Patrick
Leahy, Naomi Mann, and representatives from the three partnering
organizations supporting the Award.

The award will be presented at the Global Health Council's annual
Awards Ceremony on May 29, 2003 in Washington, D.C.

The deadline for nominations is February 3, 2003.
