Nominations are open for the Academic Women's Network Annual Awards!

Please help us celebrate the achievements of some of the amazing women in our community by nominating a colleague, mentor or mentee for an Academic Women's Network (AWN) Award.  Awards are given to individuals who demonstrate excellence in clinical care, research, and mentorship, with further details for each award listed below.   Current AWN Board members are not eligible for these awards.

AWARDS:

• Rosalind Kornfeld Student Leadership (MD and PhD awards)
• • The AWN is proud to present outstanding leadership awards to one woman in the MD program (including MSTP students) and one woman who will receive a PhD from any of the Wash U biomedical science Doctorate Programs.  Nominations should include a brief letter outlining the extracurricular activity or achievement for which the student is to be recognized and any other pertinent biographic or scholastic information.
• Rosalind Kornfeld Postgraduate Trainee Leadership (clinical and research awards)
• • The AWN is proud to present outstanding leadership awards to one woman in a clinical residency or fellowship program and one woman in a post-doctoral research training program.  Nominations should include a brief letter outlining the clinical and/or research achievements for which the trainee is to be recognized and any other pertinent biographic or leadership information.
• AWN Mentorship Award (clinical and research awards)
• • The AWN recognizes the importance of mentoring in academic/professional growth and development. The AWN Mentor Award is intended to recognize an individual who has served as an outstanding mentor to women at Washington University School of Medicine.  This award is distinct from a teaching award in that nominees should mentor in many senses of the word, not simply through teaching responsibilities. Outstanding Wash U Faculty members at the Instructor level or above are eligible for this award. Nominations should be submitted by female Washington University faculty members or postgraduate trainees who have been mentored by an outstanding individual. Nomination letters should describe how the nominee has excelled as a mentor.  

Nominations require a letter of support from the nominator and up to 3 additional letters of support. 

The submission deadline is March 2nd.  Awards will be presented at the Spring Dinner and 35^th Annual Gala on April 4th, 2025.
