ATVB Special Recognition Awards

Sponsored by the Council on Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology (ATVB)

The Council on Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology (ATVB) established the Special Recognition Award in 1981 to recognize council members who have made significant contributions to the council as well as the fields of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology.

The Council's Nominated Committee selects one person from each field (Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology) to receive the ATVB Special Recognition Award. The award is presented annually during the ATVB Business Meeting and Awards Reception at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions.

Current members of the ATVB Leadership Committee and the ATVB Nominating Committee are not eligible to be nominated for the award.
