Lifetime Achievement

OARSI would like to invite members to nominate an individual(s) for the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award.

This award is intended to honor a person who has devoted much of their career (at least 20 years)  to the advancement of the science associated with osteoarthritis. It may be in a broad area or may be in a specific area of the disease, but preferably both. For example, the broad advancement may be in the promotion and education about osteoarthritis, leadership in the field, a past leader of the society, repeated innovations that have advanced the field.  Examples of a specific arena would be epidemiology, pathology, surgery, cartilage biology, molecular biology, biomechanics. 

Thanks to UHN Schroeder Arthritis Institute for its sponsorship of the Lifetime Achievement Award.
