Award for Sustained Contributions

The Award for Sustained Contributions is made to an individual who has a track record for publishing relevant articles of consistently high quality and impact in the primary, peer-reviewed, biomedical literature over a minimum of ten (10) years. Emphasis is placed on the significance and impact of the nominee's contributions to the biomedical literature, rather than quantity of articles. Ten (10) of the candidate's most significant original, peer-reviewed articles will be evaluated in this award category.


Description of Award
The recipient of this award receives a $4,000 honorarium, a $1,000 expense allowance to attend the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting for the award ceremony and a plaque.


Eligibility
Nomination
The ASHP Foundation will request nominations from ASHP component groups (e.g., sections, advisory groups) the editors of American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, and deans of schools/colleges of pharmacy. In addition, ASHP members and affiliated state societies may nominate candidates for awards. Authors may nominate themselves as well. 

Articles
All of the articles submitted as the ten (10) highest impact contributions must have been published in a PubMed-indexed, peer-reviewed biomedical journal.

Author
For this award, the author must be a pharmacist. Past recipients of this award are not eligible for re-nomination.


Selection Process and Criteria
Each nomination will be reviewed by members of a review panel, composed of former recipients of the Award for Sustained Contributions, appointed by the Board of Directors of the ASHP Foundation. 

The recipient of the award will be notified after the balloting is completed and a public announcement of the recipient will be made prior to the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting. Awards are formally presented during the Literature Awards Breakfast at the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting. 

The following scoring and criteria will be used by the Review Panel as they review the applicant’s ten (10) most significant articles, the applicant’s curriculum vitae and the applicant’s narrative description of their contributions to the biomedical literature:
