The
Hartwell Foundation invites each of its Top Ten Centers to
participate in nominating four individuals for a
Hartwell
Individual Biomedical Research Award. All Top Ten research institutions
in 2008 were
repeat selections from 2007.
This year, Boston University and the University of
California at Davis were
selected at-large for limited participation in the
nomination process. Both institutions will compete uniquely for
Individual Biomedical Research Awards by nominating two
individuals to compete in the same process as those
nominees derived from the Hartwell Top Ten. Boston
University also participated at-large in 2007. In selecting each research center of excellence,
The Hartwell Foundation takes into account the
shared values the institution has with the
Foundation relating to children's health, the
presence of an associated medical school and
biomedical engineering program, and the quality and
scope of ongoing biomedical research. The Foundation
also considers the institutional commitment to
provide technical support to the investigator,
especially as related to translational approaches
that could promote rapid clinical application of
research results, including technology transfer.
