ASIP Outstanding Investigator Award

Award Description: The ASIP Outstanding Investigator Award recognizes mid-career investigators with demonstrated excellence in experimental pathology research. The Meritorious Awards Committee will consider the published record of peer-reviewed research and overall impact of the nominee’s science, teaching, mentorship, leadership in the field of pathology, and contributions to the Society. The ASIP Outstanding Investigator awardee is recognized each year at the ASIP Annual Meeting, where the selected awardee will deliver an Award Lecture. In addition, the awardee will submit a manuscript based on their award lecture that will form the basis of a peer-reviewed publication in The American Journal of Pathology. 

Award Eligibility: Eligible candidates for the ASIP Outstanding Investigator Award must be an active ASIP member in continuous good standing for at least five years immediately prior to nomination. The typical nominee for the Outstanding Investigator Award will be a mid-career scientist (Associate Professor or equivalent or individuals who recently became full Professor or equivalent) with an active research program at the time of nomination. Nominees should have sustained and significant contributions to the Society (through leadership and/or participation in Society activities/programs).

Nominations for the ASIP Outstanding Investigator Award should include:

1. The nominee's curriculum vitae (CV), including a complete bibliography of published research. The nominee’s CV should include clear descriptions of contributions to research, teaching, mentorship, leadership (including institutional leadership and leadership in the wider field of pathology), and contributions to the ASIP. The nominee’s CV should be updated in subsequent years if the nomination is renewed.
2. Three letters of support, including at least two from current ASIP members. Letters of support should address each element considered for the award, including meritorious experimental pathology research, outstanding teaching/mentoring, leadership in the field of pathology, and engagement in the activities of the ASIP. Letters of support should be updated in subsequent years if the nomination is renewed.

Scoring Rubric: ASIP Outstanding Investigator Award nomination packages will be scored based upon: (1) published record of peer-reviewed research and overall impact of the nominee’s science, (2) contributions to pathology education/teaching conducted at the nominee’s institution and/or through national/international forums, (3) mentorship of young scientists, (4) leadership in the field of pathology (including departmental/institutional leadership and leadership on the national/international stage), (5) contributions to the ASIP, and (6) strength of letters of support.
