For almost 80 years, the Endocrine Society has recognized the meritorious achievements of endocrine researchers and clinicians worldwide. These awards recognize endocrinologists for seminal research, meritorious service, leadership and mentorship, innovation, international contributions, translation of science to practice, and lifetime achievement.
Award categories honor the achievements of endocrinologists at all stages of their careers, recognizing those at the pinnacle of the field as well as young endocrinologists who are making a mark. The dedication, commitment, and achievements of current and past award recipients have each earned a place in endocrine history.
Nominations received through January 20, 2024, will be considered at the Laureate Awards Committee meeting in June 2024 to select the awardees who will be recognized at ENDO 2025. Nominations received after that date will be considered for the following year’s awards.
Note: nomination form requires a member login.
