The Ageing Special Interest Group (SIG) of the International Society of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity (ISBNPA) invites nominations for two Publication Awards recognizing impactful research that advances solutions to improve physical activity and/or nutrition for healthy ageing.

These awards aim to highlight research that contributes to interventions, programs, strategies, or actionable approaches, rather than research that solely documents problems.

Awards are given to the author team of the publication.

Two awards will be presented:

• Outstanding Publication (2025): For papers published in 2025
• Outstanding Publication (Past 5 Years): For papers published between 2020–2024

Recipients will be featured in the SIG newsletter and one member of the team will also be awarded an annual membership with ISBNPA.

Nominations due: June 15, 2026 (NEW DEADLINE)

Submit applications to: ageing_sig@isbnpa.org

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

1. The publication must be a peer-reviewed publication with a focus on solutions to improve physical activity and/or nutrition among middle-aged or older adults, or strategies that support healthy ageing.
