>Colleagues and friends,
>
>Following the death of Dr. Jonathan Mann, we received many messages from
>around the world expressing condolences and offering ideas on how to best
>memorialize the work of our dear friend. Many people suggested that
>Jonathan should be remembered in such a way that his work and ideals could
>continue to inspire new generations of public health and human rights
>professionals.
>
>In this spirit, NCIH has joined together with Human Rights Watch to create
>the Jonathan Mann Award for Global Health and Human Rights. The award will
>recognize individuals who have made a major contribution to the
>understanding and linkage of global health and human rights - the issue to
>which Dr. Mann dedicated the last five years of his life.
>
>The award will be presented each June at the NCIH annual conference, held
>in Washington, DC. The award is to be a substantial cash award, designed
>to provide the recipients with a measure of independence to pursue their
>work and to speak openly about issues they believe in.
>
>The recipient of the Jonathan Mann Award will be chosen by a selection
>committee that will include U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont; Dr.
>Anthony Fauci, Director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
>Diseases; Kenneth Roth, Executive Director, Human Rights Watch; Dr. Peter
>Piot, Director, UNAIDS; Dr. Helene Gayle, Director, CDC Center for
>HIV/AIDS, TB, and STDs; Dr. Barry Bloom, Dean-Designate, Harvard School of
>Public Health. The selection committee will also include representatives
>of several NGO/community groups from around the world.
>
>NCIH and Human Rights Watch are going to seek significant funding from
>private sources, and would like to have this Award be a broad-based
>statement from the thousands who admired Jonathan's life and commitment.
>Your individual or organizational contribution to the Jonathan Mann Award
>Fund would be much appreciated. Contributions can be sent to Jonathan Mann
>Award, Global Health Council / NCIH, 1701 K St., NW, Suite 600, Washington,
