THE SUBMISSION PERIOD FOR 2013 HAS NOW CLOSED. 
 
The annual PBB Mission Awards are designed to support projects that address the four key areas of the PBB Mission. They include support of: research and service projects investigating the effects of repeated exposure and specific intervention methods for repeatedly exposed populations; Research and service projects designed to teach and evaluate programs to prepare people for disasters; Research and service projects designed to further understand the risk and resilience profile of potentially vulnerable communities and societies and developing effective means for building societal resilience in the face of disasters, armed conflict and terrorism; and Research and service programs aimed at peace building and nonviolent conflict resolution.

PSYCHOSOCIAL RESPONSES TO DISASTERS
In this second decade of the 21st century we have seen unprecedented floods in Australia, South Africa, the Philippines, and Brazil; Japan suffering the effects of a major earthquake, tsunami and radiation; earthquakes in New Zealand, Chile and Turkey; and massive wildfires and widespread tornadoes in the USA. Also precipitating loss of life and widespread damage, the fires of unrest and protest that have erupted across the Middle East, from Yemen to Bahrain, to Egypt and Libya, hundreds of thousands of citizens have taken to the streets, voicing their opposition to long held regimes who have tried to quell the rising chorus, at times with violence.  Click here for more information.
