SOCIETY AWARDS RENAL PATHOLOGY
SOCIETY AWARDSYOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARD
The Renal Pathology Society Young Investigator Award was established to recognize and encourage excellence in the area of renal pathology in accordance with the goals of the Society. The recipients of the award are selected from those nominated based on the contents of abstracts that they have submitted as first author to the annual meeting of the ASN or USCAP. The awards, in the amount of $500 (US), are presented at the ASN and USCAP Meetings.
Candidates must be nominated by a member of the Renal Pathology Society. The RPS member does not need to be a co-author of the submitted abstract but, if not, he or she should be from the same institution as the nominee. The research must have been carried out, while the candidate was a trainee (e.g., medical student, resident, fellow, graduate student) and not a faculty member.
Nominations should be submitted to the Chair of the Nominating and Award Committee.

THE JACOB CHURG AWARD
The Jacob Churg Award, is presented annually at the USCAP meeting to an individual who has made major contributions to the field of nephropathology. The monetary component of the award is supported by a fund established by Barnert Hospital where Dr. Churg spent a substantial portion of his career on occasion of his retirement in 1996. Awardees are nominated by RPS members and selected from the nominations by the RPS Nominations and Awards Committee. Nominations, which should include a letter from the nominator and a C.V. of the nominee, should be sent to the Chair of this Committee.
The First Jacob Churg Award was presented to J. Charles Jennette, M.D. at the 1997 USCAP Meeting in Orlando, FL
The Second Jacob Churg Award was presented to Robert B. Colvin, M.D. at the 1998 USCAP Meeting in Boston, MA.
The Third Jacob Churg Award was presented to Agnes Fogo, M.D. at the 1999 USCAP Meeting in San Francisco, CA.
The Fourth Jacob Churg Award was presented to Vivette D’Agati, M.D. at the 2000 USCAP Meeting in New Orleans, LA.
