Nominations open for the 2025 ASCI / Scharschmidt~Crawford Distinguished Lectureship and Award
Nominations for the ASCI’s 2025 Bruce F. Scharschmidt & Peggy S. Crawford Translational Medicine Distinguished Lectureship and Award are now open.
The Award recognizes those who have made important contributions to the development of high-impact diagnostics or therapeutics for patients. The Awardee delivers the Scharschmidt~Crawford Distinguished Lectureship at the annual AAP/ASCI/APSA Joint Meeting and receives an unrestricted $20,000 honorarium. Drs. Scharschmidt and Crawford have pledged a very generous philanthropic gift to the ASCI to fully endow the Award, the first of which will be presented at the 2025 Joint Meeting, April 25-27.
