Summary: An annual prize recognizing exceptional achievements by an investigator early in an independent lupus research career.
Key Information: Recognition focuses on research achievements made early in an independent career.
The Lupus Foundation of America established this annual prize in 2009 to recognize exceptional achievements by an investigator in the early part of an independent career in lupus research. It memorializes Dr. Mary Betty Stevens, whose exceptional contributions to lupus research began early in her own career.
The prize recognizes research achievement rather than supporting a specified project or research method. It forms part of the foundation’s broader commitment to investigators at every career stage and to novel approaches across basic science, translational research, and clinical lupus research.
