Kessler Foundation Seeks Nominations for Award for Excellence in Research and Education

The Kessler Foundation's Joel A. DeLisa, MD Award for Excellence in Research and Education is designed to identify and reward the physician and/or scientist who has demonstrated a significant impact on the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation, particularly as it relates to the translation of research and education to patient care.

Applicants at all levels of their career are eligible for nomination. (Current Kessler Foundation employees are not eligible.) To be considered for the award, a nominee must demonstrate significant accomplishments in the areas of publications, funding, program development, education/training, service, and leadership/impact on the field.

Applicants must be nominated by a second party who can attest to the individual's qualifications. The application must include a cover page and a concise two-page statement from the nominator that summarizes the impact the nominee has had on the field of PM&R and why this individual should be considered for the award. The applicant's current curriculum vitae and two letters of recommendation must be included.

One award will be presented in the amount of $50,000. The recipient must receive the award in person at a presentation event in the spring of 2013.

Complete program guidelines, application instructions, and the nomination cover sheet are available at the Kessler Foundation Web site.
