The 3CPR Mid-Career Achievement Award and Lecture recognizes a mid-career investigator active in cardiovascular research for specific career endeavors and achievements that made a significant impact on the field of cardiopulmonary care. The award also may honor those who have helped further the mission of the 3CPR Council and the AHA.

The 3CPR Mid-Career Award and Lecture will alternate between Scientific Sessions and the Resuscitation Science Symposium each year. On odd years, the 3CPR Mid-Career Award and Lecture will be presented at the Resuscitation Science Symposium and will feature resuscitation science. On even years, the 3CPR Mid-Career Achievement Award and Lecture will be presented at Scientific Sessions and will feature critical care or cardio-pulmonary science.
