RICHARD BING AWARD (early career investigators)
The purpose of the Richard J. Bing Award for Young Investigators is to recognize outstanding endeavors by new investigators and to encourage continued biomedical research careers broadly related to cardiovascular biology.  The Award is bestowed triennially during the ISHR World Congress.  Four finalists are selected by a Committee of the ISHR for presentation of their work at the World Congress.  The winner will receive a plaque and a cash award of US $5,000.  The three runner-ups will receive a plaque and a cash award of $1,000.  For additional information, please click here.

OUTSTANDING INVESTIGATOR AWARD (established investigators)
The purpose of this Award is to recognize an established investigator who has reached independence, has already made important scientific discoveries, and leads a growing research program likely to play a major role in the future. The main criteria for selecting awardees are scientific excellence, independence, and potential for future research contributions. While the Peter Harris Award recognizes lifelong accomplishments and the Richard Bing Award recognizes young investigators, the Outstanding Investigator Award is targeted at investigators who are in the intermediate phase of their academic career.  [In this respect, the Outstanding Investigator Award (OIA) is similar to the Research Achievement Award (RAA); the major difference between the two is that the OIA is targeted at more junior individuals, and the RAA at more senior individuals.  The RAA is presented during the ISHR World Congress while the OIA is given annually.]  The winner will deliver a major lecture and will receive a plaque and an honorarium of $5,000.  For additional information, please click here .

RESEARCH ACHIEVEMENT AWARD (established senior investigators)
