Description
The American Geriatrics Society (AGS) presents this award at its Annual Scientific Meeting to recognize junior and mid-career clinician-investigators in general internal medicine and eligible specialties. It honors research focused on the geriatrics aspects of the investigator’s specialty, as demonstrated through a submitted abstract, and a sustained commitment to a career in aging research. This is recognition of investigator accomplishments rather than a project-funding program.
The award commemorates Arti Hurria, MD, who died in 2018. Dr. Hurria championed AGS programs connecting colleagues outside geriatrics with efforts to support older adults’ health, safety, and independence. The award carries forward her commitment to integrating geriatrics principles across medical specialties.
