Description
The Jeffrey H. Silverstein Memorial Award recognizes emerging investigators whose research addresses the role of geriatrics expertise in surgical and related medical specialties. Presented by the American Geriatrics Society (AGS), it is open to junior and mid-career investigators whose professional commitments include a career in aging research.
The award is part of the broader AGS awards program, which honors outstanding contributions to high-quality, person-centered care for older adults. While that program recognizes researchers, clinicians, educators, and emerging health professionals, the Silverstein Award specifically highlights investigators working at the intersection of geriatrics and surgical or related medical fields.
