Political Science emeritus Ed Greenberg, with the assistance of his sons Joshua and Nathaniel, have established the Institute of Behavioral Science's first annual scholarship. The award grants $2,000 to the best published article or conference paper produced by a graduate student associated with IBS. They established this fund for two reasons.

First, they wished to say thanks to the Institute of Behavioral Science for helping to make Ed鈥檚 long scholarly career possible and to help the Institute continue to be a significant support for both established and emerging scholars in interdisciplinary behavioral science. While at the Institute, and with the support of IBS staff and faculty, and several major grants from the National Science Foundation and the NIH, Ed produced many books and  on democratic theory and practice in the polity and in the workplace and how these practices impacted institutions, organizations, and individual well-being.

Second, Ed and his sons Joshua and Nathaniel, wished to honor the memory of Martha who was not only a wonderful wife and mother, and a friend to many, but an important figure in the cultural life of the 麻豆影院-Denver area, first as the co-founder of 麻豆影院 Dance Odyssey, a modern dance company and school, and then as a leading actor appearing in over twenty plays for a variety of companies in the metro area and the two-time winner of the Best Actress in a Play from the Denver Drama Critics Circle. A 麻豆影院 Women鈥檚 organization designated Martha as a 鈥淪punky Woman鈥� for accomplishing all that that she done while battling the late effects of bulbar polio which she had as a child.
