The deadline for submitting candidate proposals is 1st September and should be sent to post@nofe.no. The submitter is encouraged to provide a brief justification for the nomination.

The nominated papers will be evaluated by a committee appointed by the NOFE board. Assessment criteria are: Outstanding scientific quality and integrity in a) methodologic robustness, b) presentation, and c) contribution to the field. The first author of the paper must be able to attend the conference to receive the award and present the paper.

Congratulations to Simon Lergenmuller and Corina S. Rueegg for NOFEs prize for Paper of the year 2023!

The award was presented at the 29th NOFE conferense in Trondheim November 2023. The prize was awarded to Simon Lergenmuller and Corina S. Rueegg at Oslo Center for Biostatistics and Epidemiology, University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital. The paper “Lifetime sunburn trajectories and associated risks of cutaneous melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma among a cohort of Norwegian women” was published in JAMA Dermatology in October 2022. 

The winner of the paper of the year stands out with novel knowledge within the respective research field, using advanced epidemiological methods. The study identifies classes of lifetime trajectories of sunburns among Norwegian women, using latent class mixed models, and the methodology used is highly relevant for other epidemiologic studies with longitudinal data. The authors have performed advanced statistical analyses including extensive sensitivity analyses. The paper is well-written, accompanied with figures illustrating the results in an excellent manner. The paper is published in a high impact journal, and has already been cited, in addition to be fronted by media.
