Description
The Outstanding Junior Research Manuscript Award, presented by the American Geriatrics Society (AGS), recognizes clinician-educator junior faculty—such as Assistant Professors or Instructors—who are in the early stages of their academic careers. The award is given to individuals who have served as first authors on exceptional peer-reviewed geriatrics research articles. Selection is based on the novelty, methodological rigor, clarity, and potential impact of the manuscript on geriatrics practice, policy, or future research. The candidate’s broader body of work is also considered. This award underscores AGS’s commitment to advancing high-quality, person-centered care for older adults and supporting emerging leaders in geriatrics research.
