AICF's Prize for Scientific Excellence in Medicine

The 2020 Prize for Scientific Excellence in Medicine  was not awarded due to the cancellation of AICF's 2020 Annual Benefit Dinner & Auctions. The call for nominations for the 2021 Prize for Scientific Excellence in Medicine will open in January 2021. Nominations received in 2020 will be considered for the 2021 Prize, which will be awarded only if the Annual Benefit Dinner & Auctions will be held in person in November 2021.
