The Peter Carlton Jones Memorial Award was launched at the NPUK Conference in 2005 and is granted in response to the submission of a research project which provides an original contribution to the scientific or public understanding of the Niemann-Pick diseases and/or their treatment or cure. Peter’s wife Lesley has generously provided an annual donation to support the Award of up to one thousand pounds to the successful applicant.
This annual award of up to £1,000 is made available to an individual who is engaged in either research, teaching, treatment or care in the field of Niemann-Pick diseases, within the public or private sectors in the UK. The award is granted in response to the submission of a research project (not a literature review), which provides an original contribution to the scientific or public understanding of Niemann-Pick diseases and/or its treatment.
Submissions should be in the form of an abstract outline, on one side of A4 paper (approximately 600 words), which includes clear statements on the work undertaken, methodology, findings, and any principal features in regard to the nature of the project. Submissions should be made to:
Toni Mathieson
Chief Executive
Niemann-Pick UK
Suite 2, Vermont House
Concord, Washington NE37 2SQ
E-mail: info@npuk.org
Tel: 0191 415 0693
Applications will then be shortlisted by the Awards Committee, which may then lead to the potential requirement of further information and/or a project report, prior to reaching a final decision.
The successful applicant will be invited along to the NPUK Annual Family Conference and Interactive Workshop to receive their award and also to meet patients and their families and friends and healthcare professionals associated with Niemann-Pick diseases.
*Peter Carlton Jones was a well-respected member of the NPUK Board of Trustees, and it is in honour of his name that this prize is awarded.
