Dear
Colleagues and Friends:
You
are invited to submit nominations for the 2004 E. Mead Johnson
Awards. These most prestigious Awards, given since 1939, honor
clinical and laboratory research achievements in pediatrics. We
encourage you to consider nomination of outstanding candidates
to promote recognition of their scientific accomplishments.
Investigators in pediatrics may be nominated by any scientific
colleague. Nominators may include, but are not restricted to,
members of the Pediatric Academic Societies, and chairs of
pediatric departments. The nomination and selection processes
are directed by the Society for Pediatric Research.
The
award, which honors outstanding scientific achievement in
pediatrics, includes a $10,000 honorarium, a plaque, and travel
expenses to enable the recipient to present a review of research
accomplishments at the 2004 Pediatric Academic Societies’
Annual Meeting in San Francisco, California. Awardees provide a
review of their work for publication in Pediatric Research.
A
nomination form is posted on the SPR website, www.aps-spr.org.
The same instructions and process must be followed for
individuals being renominated.
Please
circulate this announcement among faculty members who may
suggest appropriate nominees. This is an excellent opportunity
to recognize an individual for research achievements in
pediatrics which have attained recent scientific distinction.
Sincerely,
Jane W. Newburger
Jane W. Newburger, M.D.
Chair, E. Mead Johnson Award Selection Committee
The
E. Mead Johnson Awards are supported by an educational grant from Mead Johnson
Nutritionals.
Stipulations

Pediatric Academic Societies' Annual Meeting.
-
Awards will be made only when there
are worthy candidates.
-
Awards winners will be under no
obligation, real or implied, to Mead Johnson Nutritionals.
-
To be eligible for the 2004 Award,
nominees must have received their first doctoral degree in 1984 or
later. Nominators of candidates who have interrupted their research
career for two (2) or more years but who are otherwise eligible may
request that the Committee waive this stipulation.
-
The Awards shall be limited to
nominees in the Americas.
-
The Committee for the E. Mead
Johnson Award for Research in Pediatrics will solely be responsible
for the selection of the recipients. Members of the Committee for
2004 include:
-
Members of the Selection Committee
cannot nominate or support any nominations.
Directions
for Making Nominations ~ E. Mead Johnson Award
-
Read the stipulations carefully to
make certain that the candidate you have in mind is eligible for the
E. Mead Johnson Award.
-
Complete the nomination form for
the candidate. An electronic version is available
(see above).
-
Prepare a detailed letter of
nomination for each candidate to address:
-
originality of the research work
-
whether it is an independent
investigation or in collaboration with others
-
the soundness of the
investigation, and the value of research work in contributing to
basic knowledge and to the overall field of pediatrics. Include
references to the literature where appropriate.
-
National and international
recognition should be included.
-
Brief letters of support (no
more than 6) should be requested by the nominator for inclusion with
the nomination packet. Two (2) of the six letters should be from
outside of their own institutions.
-
Include the curriculum vitae of the
nominee.
-
Include a bibliography of published
works of the nominee. A consistently strong record of independent
research productivity is an important aspect of the Award Committee
evaluation.
-
Include reprints of up to 3 recent
(within the last 5 years) articles. The selection of these three
reprints is very important, as the articles will be read by all
members of the Award Committee. Their scientific content will be a
major source of evaluation of the nominees.
-
Provide a total of 7 complete sets
(original + 6 copies) of the entire packet.
-
Send
complete packet to:
