Eligibility
GSBS students who are enrolled in a PhD or MD/PhD program and are completing their second year of graduate work are eligible for the award.

Each Program Director may submit two nominations each year. A nomination packet must include the following documents:
- A letter from the Program Director identifying the student's qualifications and describing the significance of the student's research (three pages or less)
- Copies of the student's thesis committee reports
- A copy of the qualifying examination evaluation (if available)
