The
Reginald S. Lourie Award was established by the
Board of Directors of the Reginald S. Lourie Center
for Infants and Young Children in 1990. The Award
provides a living tribute to the Lourie Center's
beloved co-founder, the late Dr. Lourie (1908-1988)
- a worldwide leader in the fields of pediatric
child psychiatry and infant mental health.
The
Award is given periodically to distinguished leaders
who have made outstanding contributions to the health
and welfare of our nation's and our community's
children and families and whose accomplishments
are in concert with the mission of the Lourie Center.
Selection of nominees is based on outstanding contributions
in any one of the following areas:
- Development
of model clinical programs for infants, children
and families;
- Research
in early childhood development;
- Influence
on public policy concerning infants, children
and families; or
- Enhancement
of the public's understanding of the needs of
