Dr. Robert L. Savoy is the godfather of fMRI education in neuroimaging and specifically fMRI, as he has been organizing and teaching his week-long fMRI course as well as a myriad of other neuroimaging and multi-modal courses continuously every few months for the past 24 years! The impact that he has had on the field – on the minds of so many neuroimagers - cannot be understated. He was among the very first instructors in fMRI and is still teaching today. A large fraction of the leaders in the field have attended his course – receiving their first in-depth instruction on fMRI and neuroimaging there. Please sign the petition to win the 2019 OHBM Education Award.

I have been hearing from so many of you who sat in Bob's classroom decades ago and still rely on the foundations he built for us. It is clear that his influence runs deep through the entire field and I am spending my afternoons compiling these stories to present to the committee.

Seeing this kind of momentum reminds me of the hundreds of hours Robert spent helping me find my footing in this field. It is moving to see so many of you acknowledge the quiet influence he has had on our collective careers.

I was one of the lucky ones in Hong Kong to attend his educational program 15 years ago. His teachings and papers are still influencing my research work now. I fully support this normination.
Robert would be an excellent recipient of this award. He has trained multiple generations of fMRI researchers with an astounding range of backgrounds. He is a truly gifted teacher.
No one is more deserving!
He is an educator above all, and his commitment to the field is unmatched!
Dr. Savoy has devoted a quarter-century to fMRI education. His tireless efforts have introduced fMRI to thousands of students, faculty, and clinicians.
So absolutely deserved!!
He has been tirelessly dedicated to quality fMRI dedication for 25+ years... No one has taught more students the principals of fMRI...

I have been on Dr. Savoy's staff for his fMRI teaching fellowships for the last 2.5 years. He is the epitome of a phenomenal teacher, organizer and person, and has provided invaluable assistance to researchers around the world. Even though I am the most junior on his faculty, he always integrates me and makes me feel as welcome and important as some of the most esteemed members of the team (and that is saying something - we have neuroimaging pioneers on staff!). I have learned so much from him both personally and professionally and I cannot think of anyone better to receive this award. I feel truly honored and blessed every time I assist with his courses and they deserve to be credited as the groundbreaking pieces of history that they are.
