<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">As part of its mission to support the social and behavioral sciences, ICPSR
presents biennial awards to individuals who have distinguished themselves in
their service to the social science community. We are seeking your nominations
for these two awards.</p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The Warren E. Miller Award for Meritorious Service to the Social Sciences
was initiated in 1993 to recognize individuals who have had a profound impact
on social science research and infrastructure. Warren E. Miller, a founder of
ICPSR and its first Executive Director, demonstrated throughout his career exemplary
service to the social science community and a talent for building institutions
that have survived beyond his direct involvement and continue to prosper.</p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The William H. Flanigan Award for Distinguished Service as an ICPSR
Representative was established in 1995 and acknowledges significant
contributions of individuals representing ICPSR member institutions. The award
is named after William H. Flanigan, who served as ICPSR Official Representative
from the University of Minnesota for 37 years, from ICPSR's inception in 1963
until 2000. He also served as Chair of the ICPSR Council from 1991 to 1993.</p>
