Brian Greer, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders, has been selected as the recipient of the prestigious BF Skinner Foundation New Researcher Award for 2019.
The award, in the area of applied research, recognizes an individual’s existing contributions to the field of applied behavior analysis, and it recognizes that individual’s potential for additional contributions. Past winners of the B. F. Skinner Award are among the very best and brightest in behavior analysis.
The award notification letter noted Dr. Greer’s “impressive list of research and scholarly accomplishments.”
“I am incredibly honored to be the first individual to receive this distinction while at UNMC and to join the ranks of UNMC’s only other award winner, Dr. Regina Carroll of the Munroe-Meyer Institute’s Psychology Department,” Dr. Greer said. (Dr. Carroll won the New Researcher Award in 2017 while at West Virginia University.)
“Above all else, these awards speak to the incredibly talented and hardworking colleagues, students, trainees, and staff who make the Munroe-Meyer Institute a wonderful place to work and a model for the highest-quality clinical research,” he said.
Dr. Greer will receive the award at the Annual Conference of the American Psychological Association in August.
