In 2025, Jill Becker was awarded the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences Norman B. Anderson Lifetime Achievement award for Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility. FABBS explained that "Dr. Becker has spent over three decades investigating sex differences in neural systems underlying addiction and motivated behavior. Her research demonstrated that ovarian hormones — specifically estradiol — modulate dopamine release in reward-related brain regions, reshaping our understanding of biological sex differences in addiction vulnerability. She co‑founded the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences, served as Editor‑in‑Chief of the journal Biology of Sex Differences, and has mentored many students and early-career scientists, particularly women and members of underrepresented groups."

In 2026, Dr. Becker was interviewed after receiving the award. Watch the video at FABBS.
