Each year, two awards are given to outstanding RPN members for their contributions to the research community:
Rising Star Award
The award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated initiative, motivation, enthusiasm, professionalism, and attention to detail in the pursuit of their responsibilities. This person should have excellent communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills that are likely to lead to a successful career within and beyond the BMC/BU Medical Campus clinical research community.
All Star Award
The All Star Award recognizes a clinical research professional who, during their career at BMC/BU Medical Campus, has made consistently superior contributions of outstanding significance to the field of clinical research at the institution. This person will have demonstrated tremendous experience in the clinical, regulatory, and/or financial aspects of the clinical research profession, and has contributed to training the next generation of clinical research professionals. This award recognizes that the scope of clinical research is diverse and encourages the input of a wide variety of individuals that the awardee has worked with.
Nominations
Nominations can be made by any staff member of the BMC/BU Medical Campus research community, including Principal Investigators, Co-Investigators, Study Coordinators, Research Administrators, Research Assistants, research teams, and Department/Division/Section staff.
