Research Awards Program
The John Blair Barnwell Award (Barnwell Award) for outstanding achievement in clinical science is the Clinical Science Research and Development’s (CSR&D) highest honor for scientific achievement. The award aims to recognize senior VHA investigators who have achieved international acclaim for clinical research accomplishments in areas of prime importance to VA’s research mission and who have also demonstrated a high level of clinical commitment to the patient population.
The Barnwell Award is given for outstanding scientific achievements in clinical research that advance the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders in the veteran population. Although the award may occasionally recognize a single exceptionally-influential contribution, it is generally expected that recipients will have made notable sustained contributions that lead to better evaluation and/or treatment of conditions that are particularly important to veterans’ health care. Clinical research to be recognized by the Barnwell Award needs to reflect efforts leading to clinical implementation of new diagnostic or treatment strategies. Such research could include prospective interventional clinical trials (drug or device) that provide definitive evidence on a
treatment, development of radiological methods, electrophysiological diagnostics, development and clinical validation of laboratory tests, application of innovative methodological design, or analytical strategies and similar activities.
