AAPS Global Leader Award

ENTERPRISE LEVEL

PURPOSE:

The Global Leader Award recognizes a leader working in pharmaceutical science, technology, engineering, or education whose contributions to the pharmaceutical sciences community have resulted in an outstanding positive impact on education and/or public health. AAPS recognizes these leaders both as a means to support their work, and to encourage pharmaceutical scientists around the world to keep driving toward treatments and cures that improve life for all global citizens.

Many countries face severe challenges in meeting the healthcare needs of the weakest members of their citizenry, but have limited, or even no, funding or capability to conduct pharmaceutical research. A few scientists have the vision, passion, and commitment to advance the development of drugs and therapies that begin to help these people.

A member of the pharmaceutical sciences community (academia, industry, regulatory, or other) whose leadership and effort have had a significant and broad impact on the availability, use, and/or benefit from needed therapies domestically or internationally.
