History and Purpose

The Frank J. Rizzo Award was established by IABEM in 2004 to honor outstanding individuals and their research in the field of BIE/BEM. The main criterion in selecting the award winner is based on the seminal and life-long contributions of the individual in the BIE/BEM research and education that have long lasting impact to the field. Further considerations include contributions in promoting the BIE/BEM and support to the BIE/BEM community, including IABEM.
