The Society for Reproduction and Fertility has, over the years, honoured the contribution of its members to research in the fields of reproduction and fertility by conferring a variety of medals and awards.

SRF Prestigious awards

SRF Marshall Medal

The SRF presents the Marshall Medal, its premier award, to outstanding contributors to the study of fertility and reproduction.

SRF Distinguished Scientist (Anne McLaren) Award

The Society acknowledges the work of premier scientists that have made major scientific contributions to the field of reproductive biology through the SRF Distinguished Scientist Award. From 2018 recipients will present their lecture as part of the Fertility programme.

Remembering Roger Short

The Society for Reproductive Biology (SRB, Australasia), the Society for Reproduction and Fertility (SRF, UK) and the Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR, North America) are delighted to announce the RV Short Medal and Lecture as an exciting new initiative to recognize emerging early career researchers across the globe.

SRF Emerging Investigator (previously New Investigator) Award

Members displaying originality, independence, and conceptual breakthroughs, are eligible to be nominated for this award by colleagues.

The recipients of this award will present their lecture at the annual Fertility meeting (usually at the SRF Satellite Day) and at the annual SSR conference in the USA, with all travel, accommodation and conference registration paid for by both societies.
