Nominations open for the 2025 ASCI / Stanley J. Korsmeyer Award
Nominations for the ASCI’s 2025 ASCI / Stanley J. Korsmeyer Award are now open.
This prestigious recognition, first called the ASCI Award, was renamed in 2006 in honor of Dr. Korsmeyer, the first recipient of the Award in 1998, who passed away in 2005. The Award recognizes individuals for their advancement of knowledge in a specific field and for mentoring future generations of life science researchers. Information on all past honorees is available here.
The Awardee delivers the Korsmeyer Award Lecture at the 2025 AAP/ASCI/APSA Joint Meeting and receives an unrestricted $20,000 honorarium.
