Louis and Artur Lucian Award for Research in Circulatory Diseases

The Louis and Artur Lucian Award is designed to honour outstanding research in the field of circulatory diseases by a scientific investigator or group of investigators whose contribution to knowledge in this field is deemed worthy of special recognition. The Louis and Artur Lucian Award ($60,000 CDN) provides for the financial support of investigators and their families during a visit to McGill University. It is hoped that through this Award, collaborative research in the field of circulatory diseases can be established between McGill and research centres elsewhere in Canada, the United States and other countries of the world.

The successful recipient is invited to spend a minimum of a one- to two-week period of time at McGill University to give a formal Lucian Lecture, to have interchanges with members of the McGill community, and possibly to undertake a research collaboration with McGill investigators in the field of circulatory diseases. Prospective recipients should be nominated on the form provided. This form, together with the supporting materials, should be returned to Dr. Jacques Genest, Chair, the Louis and Artur Lucian Award Committee. The Award Committee recognizes no geographical limitations, and nominations are invited without distinction as to gender or nationality. Preference will be given to work done in the recent past.
