- A $500 award to be presented during the HFSA Annual Scientific Meeting, October 6-9, 2023.
To be eligible, nominees should have meaningful involvement in a clinical trial listed on ClinTrials.gov. Nominees’ range of accomplishments can include meritorious achievement in trial design, execution/enrollment, and/or reporting scientific content in a trial in which they were involved; as well as challenges encountered and steps taken to meet the challenge in a trial.
Metrics to consider include number of subjects enrolled, enrollment of under-represented group/diverse populations, diverse study groups, data quality, retention, and citizenship (helping other sites participate, participating in trial activities, committee participation, patient recognition and education, dissemination of results). This year we will include overcoming challenges, which may include the impact of COVID-19.
The number of awards is not fixed, and will be determined by the quality of the applicant pool.
