International Society for Antiviral Research Awards
Gertrude Elion Memorial Lecture Award GlaxoSmithKline has established sponsorship for the annual Gertrude Elion Memorial Lecture Award by committing annual funding of $10,000 to the International Society for Antiviral Research (ISAR). The award will be conferred at the time of the lecture at the annual conference of the Society. The funds will be used for minimal administrative fees, travel and per diem for the awardee, and the award will be in the amount of $7,500 (the award will be constant, expenses for travel and per diem will vary depending on where the awardee is coming from). The remainder will be kept in escrow for future Elion awards. The Awards Committee of the ISAR will select the recipient. The award will be given to an outstanding scientist, not necessarily in the field of antiviral research but certainly someone who has made considerable contributions to the scientific field directly or peripheral to it. It should be a senior scientist (basic or clinical) of international stature. If the nominee had some ties to Dr. Elion, this would be considered in a favorable light. The main selection criterion will be scientific prominence. In addition to scientific preeminence, the recipient should have some of the characteristics typical of "Trudy" -- a genuine love of science, not only admired but also respected, a reputation for scientific integrity and approachability, especially to young scientists. The awardee will be asked to give a 45-minute lecture at the annual meeting. The membership will be asked to submit nominations to the Award Committee by October 15 for the next award. In addition to the name, the nomination should include a paragraph substantiating the nomination. The Committee will consider these nominations and will submit nominations themselves. The list will then be narrowed down by the Committee to two to three finalists and the Committee will then select the awardee from that list. The name of the Awardee will be submitted to the Chair of the Program Committee in time for the placement in a prominent position in the Annual Program. The name will also be submitted to the President of the ISAR for his/her letter notifying the recipient of the Award and also notifying GlaxoSmithKline of the selection. William Prusoff Young Investigator Lecture Award Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) has endowed the William Prusoff Young Investigator Lecture Award, which will be awarded annually by the International Society for Antiviral Research (ISAR). The award will be conferred at the time of the lecture at the annual conference of the Society. The income from the endowment will be used for minimal administrative fees, travel, per diem, a plaque and a cash award for the awardee. The remaining funds will stay in the endowment account for future awards. The ISAR and BMS are delighted to enter into this joint project to honor one of the most talented and beloved members of the Society, Bill Prusoff who has been a loyal member of the Society since its inception. His contributions to the development of antivirals, which have succeeded to clinical use, are legendary; his dedication to mentoring young scientists makes this award in his name truly appropriate. The Awards Committee, supplemented by representation from BMS, will select the recipient. The award will be given to an outstanding young scientist (not older than 45 years of age) who has demonstrated dedication and excellence in the field of antiviral research (basic or clinical, synthetic or pharmacological) and future potential for contribution to the field and the society. The award is intended to encourage young investigators in the field and by definition should not be a fully developed scientist. The ISAR membership will be invited to submit nominations following the published criteria by October 15 for the next award. The Awards Committee will select the awardee and submit his/her name to the Chair of the Program Committee in time for the placement in the annual program; the awardee will make a presentation on his/her work. The name will also be submitted to the President of the ISAR for his/her letter notifying the recipient as well as BMS of the selection. Eligibility Criteria 1.
