The Bernard B.Brodie Award in Drug Metabolism

THE BERNARD B. BRODIE AWARD IN DRUG METABOLISM FOR 2010
(Deadline for submission of nominations is September 15, 2009)

The B. B. Brodie Award in Drug Metabolism has been established to honor the fundamental contributions of Bernard B. Brodie in the field of drug metabolism and disposition. The Award is presented biennially in even years to recognize outstanding original research contributions in drug metabolism and disposition, particularly those having a major impact on future research in the field. The B. B. Brodie Award is sponsored by the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET) Division for Drug Metabolism, and funds to support the award come from members’ contributions.

The award consists of a $2,000 honorarium, a commemorative medal, hotel and economy airfare to the award ceremony at the annual meeting. A lecture, delivered by the awardee at the annual meeting, describing appropriate research accomplishments and their future direction, will be published in Drug Metabolism and Disposition.

There are no restrictions on institutional affiliation, and a candidate need not be a member of the Society. The only restriction for the Award is that supporting research accomplishments must not be used to win any other major award. Only one nominator is necessary, although more are acceptable, and the nominators need not be members of ASPET. Selection of an awardee will be made biennially by the B.B. Brodie Award Committee, appointed by the President of ASPET with input from the Division for Drug Metabolism.

Nominations shall be submitted electronically to markin@aspet.org and shall consist of:

Nominating letter and no more than five supporting letters detailing accomplishments of the nominee.

List of, and comments on, the outstanding papers.

Brief biographical sketch of the candidate.

Candidate’s curriculum vitae and bibliography.

Receipt date for nominations for the Bernard B. Brodie Award will be 5:00 pm on September 15, 2009 for an award to be presented at Experimental Biology ’10 in Anaheim, CA.
