MCR Michael B. Kastan Award for Research Excellence
Molecular Cancer Research (MCR) was launched in 2002, with Michael B. Kastan, MD, PhD as its founding Editor-in-Chief. His dedication and research acumen attracted scientific content that established MCR as a solid outlet for new discoveries that have led to a more molecular understanding of cancer progression. Through his leadership, the Journal developed into a platform devoted to communicating these discoveries to the broad scientific community. To honor that commitment and guidance, the MCR Michael B. Kastan Award for Research Excellence will be given yearly to the authors of an MCR Research Article that has had significant impact on the fields represented by the Journal.
Award Eligibility:
- Candidates will be the first or corresponding author of a peer-reviewed, original Research Article published in MCR within the previous two years
- The Research Article will have made significant and timely contribution in one or more content areas represented by the Journal
- Although the first and/or corresponding author of the research article will be the formal awardee, all coauthors will be named as corecipients of the Award
Award Criteria:
The MCR Editor-in-Chief and two additional editors for the Journal will select the Award recipient each year, in consideration of the following criteria:
- Editors will prioritize those articles that have the potential to shift paradigms, inspire translational activity, and raise awareness of new scientific areas
- Editors will prioritize articles that are representative of the Journal in terms of originality/novelty, scientific/clinical merit, and/or impact/significance
The Award:
The Award recipient will be invited to the Journals Reception and Scientific Achievement Awards Recognition Dinner that take place during the AACR Annual Meeting. A cash prize of $1,500 and a certificate will be given to the awardee.
