The World Headache Alliance announces the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Award 2007 to be made to the person or group who, in the opinion of the Award Committee, will make best and effective use of it for the relief of the burden of headache anywhere in the world.

The Award is £10,000 payable to an institution or registered organisation.
The Award Sponsor's expectation is that the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Award 2007 should be for the particular benefit of women.

The Award Committee will consider the following inter alia:

• a measurable objective that can be anticipated to translate directly into relief of the burden of headache
• the importance of this objective in the context of the country or locality where it is set
• the timetable for its achievement and
• the system of accountability.

Proposals to be brought to the notice of the Award Committee should be submitted electronically to the Administrator of World Headache Alliance at ega2007@w-h-a.org and should arrive no later than 31 July 2007. The Award Committee is entitled, at its discretion, to consider any proposal however it may come to its attention, to divide the Award between two proposals if appropriate, or to withhold the Award.

Any recipient(s) of the Award will be advised by the end of September 2007.

World Headache Alliance expresses its gratitude to GSK, the Award Sponsor.
