Request for 2009 Award Nominations
American College of Clinical Pharmacology
T he College's Honors & Awards Committee makes recommendations to the
Board of Regents on awards, based upon nominations received. The College
cordially invites nominations for all awards.
All awards consist of an appropriately inscribed certificate or plaque, and payment of
all expenses incurred in connection with attendance at the awards ceremony during
the annual meeting. In addition, the Tanabe Young Investigator and McKeen Cattell
Memorial Awards carry honoraria of $1000 each. With the exception of the McKeen
Cattell Award and Tanabe Young Investigator Award, each awardee is expected to give
an approximately 20-30 minute address on a subject related to the basis for the award
and to submit a short manuscript based on the talk, as suitable for publication in the
Journal of Clinical Pharmacology.
DISTINGUISHED INVESTIGATOR AWARD
This award is given yearly and is primarily intended to recognize superior scientific expertise and
accomplishments by a senior investigator, usually involving a distinct area of research in basic or
clinical pharmacology for which the individual is internationally known. The candidate need not
be a member or fellow of the College.
NATHANIEL T. KWIT MEMORIAL DISTINGUISHED
SERVICE AWARD
This award is given in honor of the memory of the late Nathaniel T. Kwit, M.D., FCP, a founding
Fellow of the College, who served as a Regent for 5 years and as Treasurer for 20 years. The primary
intent of this award is to recognize accomplishments of a general nature which benefit the
field of clinical pharmacology. These may be in the area of teaching, administration, service with
ACCP, long-term and wide ranging scientific studies having practical importance, and other service-
related functions. It is differentiated for the Distinguished Investigator Award in that it is not
intended to recognize any distinct area of scientific investigation, but rather an overall contribution
to the field. The candidate need not be an ACCP member or fellow.
HONORARY FELLOWSHIP AWARD
This is given yearly to a non-member of the College and is meant to recognize primary activities
within the immediate domain of clinical pharmacology. The award recognizes overall contributions
to the field, rather than for any particular scientific work, by a senior investigator or authority
having a national or international reputation in the scientific, public service, legislative, governmental
or other area of endeavor impacting on the field.
