ACCP Honors & Awards
ACCP Distinguished Investigator Award
The ACCP Distinguished Investigator Award is given annually and is intended to recognize superior scientific expertise and accomplishments by a senior investigator, usually involving a distinct area of research in basic or clinical pharmacology for which the individual is internationally known. The candidate need not be a Member or Fellow of ACCP.
ACCP Honorary Fellowship Award
The ACCP Honorary Fellowship Award is given annually to a Non-member of ACCP and is meant to recognize primary activities within the immediate domain of clinical pharmacology. The award recognizes overall contributions to the field, rather than for any particular scientific work, by a senior investigator or authority having a national or international reputation in the scientific, public service, legislative, governmental or other area of endeavor impacting the field.
Nathaniel T. Kwit Memorial Distinguished Service Award
The Nathaniel T. Kwit Memorial Distinguished Service Award is given in memory of the late Nathaniel T. Kwit, MD, FCP, a founding Fellow of ACCP, who served as a Regent for five years and as Treasurer for 20 years. The primary intent of this award is to recognize accomplishments of a general nature which benefit the field of clinical pharmacology. These may be in the area of teaching, administration, service with ACCP, long-term and wide-ranging scientific studies having practical importance, and other service-related functions. It is differentiated from the ACCP Distinguished Investigator Award in that it is not intended to recognize any distinct area of scientific investigation, but rather an overall contribution to the field. The Nominee must be an ACCP Member or Fellow.
Roger Jelliffe Individualized Therapy Award
The Roger Jelliffe Individualized Therapy Award is given annually to a Member or Non-member of ACCP and is intended to recognize an individual who significantly advances the field of personalized medicine by improving the use of drugs or biologics in patients.
Hartmut Derendorf Mentorship in Clinical Pharmacology Award (formerly the Bristol-Myers Squibb Mentorship in Clinical Pharmacology Award)
The Hartmut Derendorf Mentorship in Clinical Pharmacology Award is given annually to an awardee who demonstrates exemplary promotion of clinical pharmacology, with emphasis on training/guidance of junior scientists and/or colleagues.
Tanabe Young Investigator Award
The Tanabe Young Investigator Award is given annually and is funded by a grant from Tanabe Research Labs USA. The award recognizes the significant contributions of an investigator who has made unusual strides in research related to clinical pharmacology and whose career shows promise of outstanding achievements at a relatively early stage, typically 10-12 years post-research degree. The candidate need not be a Member or Fellow of ACCP.
McKeen Cattell Memorial Award
The McKeen Cattell Memorial Award is given in memory of the late McKeen Cattell, MD, PhD, FCP, the first editor of The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology (JCP) and co-founder of ACCP.
Nominations for this Award are selected by the Editors of The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and the ACCP Honors & Awards Committee. This award is given annually, recognizing an outstanding research paper published in the JCP during the preceding year. The award is typically presented to the first author of the paper. If the first author is unable to attend, another author may serve as a substitute.
