The
Robert R. Ruffolo Career Achievement Award in Pharmacology has been established
in recognition of the contributions made to drug discovery and development by
Dr. Ruffolo. The Award is presented annually
to recognize the scientific achievements of scientists
who are at the height of their careers (typically mid- to late-career) and who
have made significant contributions to any area of pharmacology.
The
award consists of a $2,500 honorarium, a commemorative medal, complimentary
registration to the annual meeting, hotel, and economy airfare for the winner
and his/her spouse to the award ceremony at the annual meeting.

for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET). No member may nominate more than one
candidate in a year, and no candidate may be nominated for more than one major

accomplishments in pharmacology. Selection of the recipient will
be made by the ASPET Awards
Committee, appointed by the President of ASPET.
