OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION AWARD

About the Award

The success of the International Society for Antiviral Research is due to the hard work and devotion of many individuals. However, occasionally an individual stands out as a key factor in the Societies success. Earl Kern is the first recipient of this award which was enacted in 2004. This award is dedicated to one who has made significant contributions consistently over many years (at least 10 years) that are considered to have been essential to the continuing success of the Society and its annual Conference. This rare award is conferred by the ISAR Board upon considerable reflection of the individual’s extensive contributions. These contributions could include, but are not limited to: administrative efforts, efforts considered essential to the success of the Society and its Conference, fund raising activities, membership on committees, recruitment of members, an ambassador and promoter of the society at multiple venues, promotion and/or presentation of the highest quality science at society meeting, promotion of the effective integration of industry and academic society members, etc.
