Nominations Invited for Rosalynn Carter Leadership in Caregiving Award
Deadline: July 1, 2010

A program of the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving, the Rosalynn Carter Leadership in Caregiving Award recognizes leadership in implementing innovative partnerships between community agencies and caregiving researchers who bridge the gap between science and practice.

The award-winning team will be announced at the RCI’s National Summit to be held October 20-22, 2010, at Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus, Georgia. Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter will present the winning team with a statuette and a cash award of $20,000 to support the team’s efforts in implementing effective caregiver interventions at the community level.

Winning partnerships should be able to clearly demonstrate dedication to developing effective evidence-based caregiver interventions that improve the health and well-being of caregivers; collaboration and partnerships between all stakeholders in the caregiving process; the potential for developing or more effectively using financial, educational, and human resources to support caregivers; effective reach into the target population; and the potential to serve as a model for other individuals, groups, organizations, or communities in efforts to better support caregivers.
