The ACC Distinguished Awards program recognizes individuals making contributions to the cardiovascular profession. It's time to honor those in our community making a difference — nominate a deserving colleague for one of the 2023 Distinguished Awards! As an Academic Section member, we're looking for your help nominating deserving individuals for our Distinguished Scientist Awards in the Clinical, Basic and Translational domains. Do you know a scientific investigator making a transformational impact on the field of cardiovascular disease? Submit your nomination by Sept. 30. Learn more.
