The Klaus J. Jacobs Awards was established in memory of its founder, entrepreneur Klaus J. Jacobs, who passed away in 2008, each year since 2009 the Jacobs Foundation has presented two awards for outstanding achievements in research and practice in the field of child and youth development. The Klaus J. Jacobs Research Prize, which includes an award of one million Swiss francs, (1M USD) honours scientific achievements that are of exceptional social relevance in promoting the development of children and youth. The Jacobs Foundation attaches great importance to the practical application of scientific findings achieved through interdisciplinary research.

鈥淚 am profoundly touched to receive this incredible honour from the Jacobs Foundation,鈥� says Prof. Meaney, 鈥淣ow that we know that childhood experiences change how genes are expressed, we may be able to identify the children who are most at risk and put in place appropriate interventions at ages early enough to provide sustained benefits. This will make it possible to develop therapies tailored to the needs of each child 鈥� therapies that are likely to produce the greatest benefits and to be most cost-effective over the long term鈥�.

鈥淥n behalf of the entire 9I制作厂免费 community, I want to congratulate Prof. Meaney for his remarkable achievements and thank the Jacobs Foundation for this prestigious award,鈥� said Prof. Suzanne Fortier, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of 9I制作厂免费. 鈥淧rof. Meaney鈥檚 trailblazing research has important implications for social policy. His work may make it possible to put in place appropriate intervention programs for highly vulnerable children.鈥�

The Klaus J. Jacobs Awards will be presented on December 5, 2014, at an award ceremony at the University of Zurich, Switzerland.
