The Louis W. Sullivan, MD, Award

About this program

The American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI) awards the Louis W. Sullivan, MD, Award to a middle‑career physician‑scientist who is underrepresented in medicine and science; the annual recipient receives a $10,000 honorarium and presents the Sullivan Lecture at the ASCI annual meeting. Eligible nominees must be ASCI members who meet the Society’s definition of underrepresented in medicine and science (including certain racial/ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, or those from educationally/financially disadvantaged backgrounds) and must have been elected to ASCI within five years of the award year; nominees and nominators may not be current members of the ASCI Council or the Physician‑Scientist Engagement Committee, and an individual may be nominated for only one ASCI award per cycle. Required nomination materials include a 750‑word personal statement addressing scientific achievements, career/personal history, mentoring, and service; a full curriculum vitae; and three most‑significant publications each with a 50‑word annotation plus the nominee’s role, journal, year, and PMID; nominees must also complete the ASCI demographics survey and provide research domain information, and nominators (ASCI members, excluding Council and Committee members) must submit a 500‑word statement. Nominations are reviewed by the ASCI Physician‑Scientist Engagement Committee, which forwards recommendations to the ASCI Council for approval; no submission deadline was provided in the source.
