(Deadline: TBD, will be presented at 2019 ISAM Congress)

Thomas T. Mercer Award

The Thomas T. Mercer Award, jointly sponsored by ISAM and AAAR, is based on the achievement of excellence in the field of medicinal aerosols and inhalable materials. No other qualifications are required of the recipient. Any member of ISAM or AAAR may make nominations. Membership in either ISAM or AAAR is not required of the nominee. The 2018 winner will be announced at the 2018 American Association of Aerosol Research’s conference in St. Louis, MO. Nomination date has not been set but can be sent to the ISAM award committee.

Young Investigator Award

The Young Investigator Award is given to a scientist who will not be older than 40 years of age in 2019 and who has made significant contributions to the field of aerosols in medicine. The nomination should summarize the contributions of the candidate to the field. The nominee must be a member of ISAM. (Deadline: TBD, will be presented at 2019 ISAM Congress).

Submission of Nominations

For the Career Achievement, Thomas T. Mercer and Young Investigator Awards, the nominator must send a letter of nomination, at least two supporting letters, and a current curriculum vita for the nominee. Previous nominations not awarded will require re-nomination. The nominee cannot be a member of any of the awards committees.

For the Student Research Award, only a single letter of nomination from the nominee's academic supervisor is required. This letter of nomination should be accompanied by an abstract summary of the nominee's research, using the form that is required for submission of abstracts to the ISAM Congress. If the nominee submits the same abstract for consideration of inclusion in the Congress program, they should check the box on the abstract form that indicates that it has been nominated for the Student Research Award. The deadline for the nomination is the same as the abstract submission deadline for the Congress.

The deadline for all nominations for the ISAM 2019 Congress will be announced in 2018. All materials should be sent in a single package to Michael Amato and/or Philip Kuehl (ISAM Awards Committee members) via email to michael.amato@inspirxpharma.com/pkuehl@lrri.org by the deadline with the subject line to read ‘2019 ISAM award nomination.’
