The Endocrine Society and Pharmacia Corporation Award for Published Clinical Research in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism

In 1998, The Endocrine Society, through the generous support of the Pharmacia Corporation, established the annual award "The Pharmacia Corporation International Award for Excellence in Published Clinical Research in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCE&M)" for the best clinical research papers that appear in JCE&M. The purpose of the award is to encourage, recognize, and reward excellence in clinical research in endocrinology. There are no restrictions with respect to professional affiliation or geographic location.

These annual awards are selected by jury for the four best clinical research papers published in JCE&M in a given volume year. The 1st prize is $20,000, and there are three Honorable Mentions of $5,000 each. In addition to the monetary prize, the award includes coach airline travel, meeting registration, hotel for one night, and one day’s per diem for the Society’s Annual Meeting in June for one author of each paper.

The selection and announcement of the winners for a given year will be made in March of the following year with the awards presented at the next Endocrine Society Annual Meeting in June. Papers "accepted for publication" but not yet published are not eligible until the year that they are actually published.

All clinical research papers published in JCE&M in 2000 will be eligible for 2001 award consideration. For more information on how to submit your paper, contact the JCE&M editorial office at jcem@endo-society.org or call (212) 305-6886.
