Stanley A. Plotkin Award

PIDS has closed nominations for the 2024 Plotkin Lectureship awardee. The deadline for nominations has passed.

The nominee should be an individual who has made significant contributions to the field of “vaccinology” or areas of related science that have impacted the lives of children and the specific area of pediatric infectious diseases. The nomination letter should detail the qualifications of the candidate for the award. The awardee will be selected by a vote of the Nominations and Awards Committee based upon the nomination letters received from PIDS members. The top two candidates will be forwarded to the PIDS Board of Directors for final approval.

Thank you for your participation in the selection of this important and prestigious award honoring our Founding Father, Dr. Stanley A. Plotkin.
