GPM and EPI Mid-Career Research Award and Lecture

This lecture was established in 2015 to recognize an outstanding scientist who has made a lasting impact in epidemiology, functional genomics, and translational biology. The award will serve to highlight the innovative science being produced by the American Heart Association and respective council members.

The winner is selected by the Molecular Determinants of Cardiovascular Health Joint Committee of the Council on Genomic and Precision Medicine (GPM) and the Council on Epidemiology and Prevention (EPI) based on the following criteria:

• Candidates will be mid-career, preferably at the Associate Professor level or functioning at that rank;
• Candidates should have a track record of major independent scientific contributions to the areas of genetics, genomics, precision medicine and epidemiology;
• Candidates should have a track record of service and engagement in the GPM or EPI councils; and
• Candidates are required to be a member of either the GPM or EPI councils.

The awardee will present a lecture during AHA Scientific Sessions. The lecture will be slotted on an alternating basis between GPM and EPI.

Current Molecular Determinants of Cardiovascular Health Joint Committee members are not eligible to be nominated for the award.
