Nominations are currently being accepted for the ANIO Awards for Academic Excellence and Outstanding Community Service.
The Academic Excellence award recognizes individuals of Indian origin who have made substantial and significant contributions to the science of nephrology in basic or clinical science supported by published work in scientific journals. The recipient preferably should be of Indian ancestry and can be based in North America or elsewhere. The selection committee rarely may decide to give the award to someone not of Indian ancestry, whose contribution may be of special significance to the Indian diaspora with regard to disease manifestations, mechanisms or treatment.
The Community/ Service Award will recognize community physicians who have delivered or demonstrated outstanding and impactful service and leadership to their patients, their organizations and to the larger community as a whole.
If you have anyone in mind for these awards, please send a letter of nomination including a short biodata, CV and approval of the nominee to Dr. Nisha Bansal at NBansal@nephrology.washington.edu
