The P.B. Dews Lifetime Achievement Award in Behavioral Pharmacology is sponsored by the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET) Division for Behavioral Pharmacology. It recognizes outstanding lifetime achievements in research, teaching, and professional service in behavioral pharmacology. The award honors Dr. Peter Dews for his seminal contributions to the development of behavioral pharmacology as a discipline.
This is an achievement award for established-career individuals rather than funding for a defined research project. It forms part of ASPET’s division-sponsored awards program, which recognizes members’ contributions to specific fields of pharmacology. The biennial award is supported by an endowment made possible by contributions from industry, academic institutions, other organizations, and ASPET members.
