This award was established in perpetuity to honor the contributions
of the late Dr. Maureen Andrew to child health research and the Society for Pediatric Research.
Dr. Andrew made notable contributions as an investigator, mentor, and leader of the Society for
Pediatric Research. She founded and nurtured the field of neonatal hemostasis. She developed an original body of
knowledge in the laboratory and led major initiatives in translational research via the establishment of international
multicentre clinical trials. She mentored trainees and junior investigators in Pediatrics and in related fields in a manner
that generated excitement and commitment, fostered creativity, and encouraged and facilitated scholarship. Dr. Andrew took a
particular interest in the mentorship of women interested in pediatric research. Her mentorship was critical in generating
successful independent research careers and a legacy of loyalty by her former trainees.
The Award shall recognize individuals who have served as exemplary mentors for trainees and junior faculty who have
successfully developed investigative careers in the field of child health research.
This award, established in 2003 by the SPR, is also supported by generous
contributions by:
American Pediatric Society
American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology
AstraZeneca
