BEECH TREE SCHOLARS AWARD PROGRAM
In Memory of Colleen Cody and Angela Birnbaum
Beech trees are associated with knowledge and wisdom, are valued for their strength and broad canopy, and are emblematic of the way in which both Colleen and Angela generously shared their time, knowledge and passion for research ethics and regulation. The Beech Tree Scholars program has been established to both honor their memory and continue their legacy of welcoming those new to the field.
Beginning in 2025, each year a selected applicant will be awarded registration, domestic airfare and hotel to attend the THREE I’s conference. As the network of Beech Tree Scholars and their supporters grows, it will continue to provide both roots and shelter within the research ethics community.
