Description
The John J. Abel Junior Independent Investigator Award is administered by the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET) to recognize scientific achievement in general pharmacology. Named after ASPET’s founder, the award was established in 1946 to stimulate fundamental research in pharmacology and experimental therapeutics by young investigators. Its emphasis is on investigators’ accomplishments rather than support for a specified research project or set of research activities.
The award is part of ASPET’s Scientific Achievement Awards program, which honors accomplishments in particular areas of pharmacology and contributions to the discipline as a whole. This recognition focuses on junior investigators who have established independent careers.
