The 49th Annual James L. O’Leary Prize Competition is held each year in conjunction with the O’Leary Lecture. 

Designed to acknowledge the most original and important accomplishments in Neuroscience research at WashU by a predoctoral student or postdoctoral fellow

Each Finalist will deliver a 10-minute presentation, and our judging panel will choose 2 winners to each receive a $1000 prize. Please join us for an afternoon of exciting science and competition, and to support Neuroscience at WashU!

Note that each year, a past O’Leary Prize recipient is invited to be a guest judge and present the O’Leary Lecture.  The O’Leary Lecture is scheduled for Friday, April 4.
