Description
Administered by the American Geriatrics Society (AGS), this award provides recognition and financial support to emerging eldercare scholars for outstanding scientific achievement in clinical investigation. It honors scholars whose work reflects the early promise of the Yoshikawas’ careers and forms part of AGS’s broader recognition of contributions to high-quality, person-centered care for older adults.
The award is named for Dr. Thomas T. Yoshikawa and his wife, Catherine, who together served AGS and the geriatrics community for more than two decades. Support from AGS members and the couple’s friends and colleagues sustains this recognition of emerging scholars, connecting their longstanding service with scientific achievement in eldercare.
