Matilda White Riley, Ph.D. (1911–2004) (634 KB) was a celebrated scientist and member of the National Academy of Sciences whose transformative work and leadership in the behavioral and social sciences at the NIH is honored annually by the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR).

Each year, the NIH honors the research trajectory and continuing influence of Dr. Matilda White Riley in the behavioral and social sciences across and beyond the NIH. Initiated as an annual distinguished scholar lecture, the OBSSR expanded the event in 2016 to recognize emerging scientists with a competition for peer-reviewed articles by early-stage investigators.
