Each year, CRDF Global presents the George Brown Award for International Scientific Cooperation to recognize individuals for their critical work advancing international cooperation in science and technology. The Award furthers the late Congressman George Brown's vision for international research cooperation and commemorates his important role in the efforts leading to CRDF Global's creation.
In 2012, CRDF Global is pleased to recognize three individuals for their scientific and humanitarian achievements:
- Mr. William H. Draper, III, General Partner of Draper Richards L.P and Co-Chairman of the Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation
- Dr. David A. Hamburg, President Emeritus at Carnegie Corporation of New York, former president of AAAS and the Institute of Medicine
- Dr. Charles M. Vest, President of the National Academy of Engineering and President Emeritus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Since its founding in 1995, CRDF Global has served as a leader in promoting international science cooperation. The gala event will celebrate CRDF Global's successful programs and services in more than 30 countries worldwide, carried out on behalf of several dozen government and private sector funders and clients.
