Outstanding Junior Investigator of the Year

Inaugurated in 2001, this award provides national recognition to SGIM junior investigator members whose academic ranks do not exceed Assistant Professor, and whose early career achievements and overall bodies of work to date have had national impact on generalist research.

Who Should be Nominated?

Nominees must be active members of the Society of General Internal Medicine, and expect to have an academic rank no higher than Assistant Professor as of July 1, in the year prior to the award year. The general criterion for the award is outstanding accomplishment in research.

Nominees should provide evidence of sustained, consistent accomplishment.
Specific criteria will be:

  • Overall quality of the applicant's publications
  • Impact of the applicant's work on generalist research, practice, and policy
  • Consistent quality of publications
  • Increasing momentum of career accomplishment
  • Active involvement in SGIM
  • Creativity and innovation
  • 7 years from appointment in their faculty position

In the context of this award, SGIM defines generalist research broadly to encompass the full range of scholarship conducted by SGIM investigators.

  • Nominee must be a SGIM member. 
  • A formal nomination letter of one single-spaced page or less, stating reasons the nominee should receive the Junior Investigator award.
