Albert E. Levy Scientific Research Award

Recognizing Excellence in Scientific Research

The Albert E. Levy Scientific Research Award was established to recognize outstanding scientific contributions by Emory faculty members. The award is given annually “…to the faculty member(s) whose scientific research has been published in a peer-reviewed journal and [is] judged by other scientists to be the best published manuscript submitted in a competition with other Emory faculty members.” Recipients are honored at a Levy Awards Seminar, which includes presentation of the awards and a reception.
