The Blue Jacket Award is the RiboClub’s highest recognition for service by RNA scientists to the Canadian RNA community.

It recognizes sustained and impactful contributions that have strengthened the RNA community and helped it to better achieve its goals in RNA research and education.

The award is conferred at the RiboClub’s Opening Session in September.
