Nominations for Research Achievement Awards

four years the AMERICAN PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIAForTION Foundation has been presenting Research Achievement Awards to pharmacists for outstanding contributions in seven areas of research. The first seven awards were given at the 1962 APHA annual meeting in Las Vegas and since that time 20 additional awards have been made. At APHA's annual meeting in Dallas, Texas, April 24-29, the Research Achievement Awards will be given for the fifth time. Recipients will be selected by the committee on awards and prizes of the scientific section of APHA's Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Selections will be made from candidates nominated by APHA members in recognition of individual accomplishments. The seven areas in which nominations may be made are drug standards and assay, advancement of pharmacy, pharmacodynamics, natural products, physical pharmacy, stimulation of research and pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry. Nominees need not be members of APHA but should be engaged in activity primarily related to pharmacy or pharmaceuticals in industrial pharmaceutical companies, private institutions, schools of pharmacy or government agencies. Each recipient of an award will receive an honorarium of $1,000 and expenses up to $300 for travel to APHA's annual meeting for the award ceremonies. To be eligible for the award an individual must be nominated before January 1, 1966 and APHA members are urged to send in their nominations now. Forms for submitting such nominations may be obtained by sending a request to Research Achievement Awards, APHA Foundation, 2215 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037. If an individual has been nominated previously for an award, he must be renominated to be reconsidered.
