Description
The Robert R. Ruffolo Career Achievement Award in Pharmacology is administered by the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET) as part of its Scientific Achievement Awards. Established in 2011 in recognition of Dr. Ruffolo’s contributions to drug discovery and development, it honors scientific achievements by established scientists at the height of their careers, typically mid- to late-career.
The award recognizes significant contributions to any area of pharmacology. Its focus is career accomplishment and contributions to the discipline, rather than support for a defined future research project. ASPET’s broader Scientific Achievement Awards recognize both accomplishments in specific areas of pharmacology and contributions to pharmacology as a whole.
