Outstanding Scientific Achievement Award

The Outstanding Scientific Achievement Award honors one to three candidates for a single research contribution. The award is based upon novel and seminal discoveries of a basic, clinical or theoretical nature. The contribution can consist of several findings, but the findings must be parts of a single, coherent line of research. Any collection of disparate findings will not be recognized. The award is presented each year at SLEEP, the Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies.
