The annual ASA Award for Excellence in Research
recognizes an individual for outstanding achievement
in research that has or is likely to have an important
impact on the practice of anesthesiology.
The individual’s work must represent a body
of original, mature and sustained contribution to
the advancement of the science of anesthesiology.
The nominee need not be a physician, an anesthesiologist
or a member of ASA but must be presently engaged in
research related to anesthesiology.
In 2004, the award was presented to Clifford J. Woolf,
M.D., Ph.D., at the ASA Annual Meeting in Las Vegas,
Nevada, on Monday, October 25, 2004, immediately preceding
the Emery A. Rovenstine Memorial Lecture.
Dr. Woolf is with the Neural Plasticity Research Group
of Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
The deadline for nominations for the 2005 Award for
Excellence in Research is March 30, 2005.
Guidelines for nominations are available
from the ASA Executive Office, 520 N. Northwest Highway,
Park Ridge, IL 60068-2573 or e-mail <J.Jacobson@ASAhq.org>.
