James A. Bush Memorial Research Award
Sponsor: Dean’s Office
Presentation includes: Plaque and $500
The award honors a medical student(s) who has made and presented the most original and thoughtful contribution to research. A major portion of the investigation must have been provided by the student(s) while enrolled in the School of Medicine.
Nomination and Selection Process: (Students with a PhD or a comparable degree are not eligible.)
Students submit a single-spaced, word-processed manuscript (no more than 8 pages) in PDF format to Janet.Bassett@hsc.utah.edu. The faculty [research] sponsor needs to also submit a statement—in the same format and to the same individual—documenting the submitted research report was predominantly the students’ effort without significant editing by the faculty sponsor. A committee of research faculty select the award’s recipient based on the student(s)’ manuscript.
History:
This award is named in memory of Dr. James A. Bush, a fellow in Internal Medicine and dedicated to research, whom was killed in an airplane accident in 1955 on his return from presenting a paper before the American Academy of Pediatrics. The James A. Bush Memorial Research Award was established to encourage and acknowledge medical students with that same dedication, and it is to the student(s) whom made the most original and thoughtful contribution to research.
