UNMC is currently accepting nominations for the 2017 J.G. (Jack) Elliott Award. The deadline to submit materials is July 22.
The award is given annually to an individual who has made significant contributions to medicine and health programs for Nebraska. The award is given in memory of Elliott, a former Scottsbluff resident who served on the University of Nebraska Board of Regents for 20 years until his death in 1974. UNMC has been able to continue this award program through the support and generosity of the Elliott family.
The recipient will be selected by the UNMC chancellor based on input from individuals or groups chosen by the chancellor. The award will be presented during UNMC’s spring 2017 commencement ceremony in Omaha.
Nominees are evaluated according to the following criteria:
- A Nebraska resident who has made a significant contribution to the health of the state through his or her actions.
- Statewide impact with contributions in the areas of education, research and community outreach.
- The individual’s actions should improve individual and community health.
- The health contributions should be beyond the scope of work-related activities.
