Special AwardAward Description The field of epidemiology’s expanse is broad. In an effort to acknowledge the breadth of the field and researchers who often submit to topic-focused journals, each year the Special Award will highlight a selected topic. For example, a topic may be rural drug addiction and treatment. ACE leadership and Committee members will reach out to programs, schools, and agencies to nominate individuals with such expertise. This may also be useful as a mechanism to collaborate with other topical associations (e.g., American Association of Addiction Medicine).
Eligibility Criteria An eligible nominee should be a senior leader who has made extraordinary contributions to the field of epidemiology designated in the special award. Self‐nominations are not accepted. Nomination Procedure
