D. E. Strandness, MD, Scientific Award for Excellence in Scientific Research

Home / Member Center / Awards / D. E. Strandness, MD, Scientific Award for Excellence in Scientific Research

Established in 1987, previously known as the Award for Excellence in Scientific Research, this award is presented annually to a technologist member in good standing, or to an individual sponsored by a technologist member in good standing, who is the primary author and presenter of a scientific paper selected for presentation at the Annual Conference. Its purpose is to recognize outstanding scientific research. The five oral scientific abstracts receiving the highest number of points in the Abstracts Subcommittee’s selection process are eligible for this award.
