HFSA Lifetime Achievement Award

Any living individual whose career has focused on heart failure may be nominated. The award will be made based on the recipient’s contributions as follows:

• Advancement of scientific knowledge, either basic or clinical research directly to heart failure
• Improvement in the practice of treating patients with heart failure
• Demonstrated service to the mission of the HFSA

Evaluation of nominees and selection of the recipient will be chosen by a majority vote of the Awards Committee and submitted to the HFSA Board of Directors for approval.

Each Nomination should consist of:

1. A letter of recommendation from a nominator which should highlight the nominees’ career in detail (2 pages maximum)
2. Copy of an up-to-date curriculum vitae (including publications)

Nominations may only be made by HFSA members in good standing. Self-nominations will not be accepted.

Previous Winners are not eligible for this Award!

Nominations are carried forward from the previous three years but information submitted may need to be updated and re-submitted. Materials resubmitted should include any significant developments or contributions which have occurred since the previous submission.
