Submit Application for 2024 Jacobson Promising Investigator Award

The ACS is accepting applications for the 2023 Joan L. and Julius H. Jacobson II Promising Investigator Award through Friday, March 1, 2024

The JPIA was established to recognize outstanding surgeons who are engaging in research, advancing the art and science of surgery, and demonstrating early promise of significant contribution to the practice of surgery and the safety of surgical patients. The award is supported through a generous endowed fund established by the donors and administered by the ACS Surgical Research Committee.

Special consideration will be given to surgeons who are at the "tipping point" of their research careers, with a track record indicative of early promise and potential (for example, a degree program in research or a K award).

The 2023 winner was Juliet Emamaullee, MD, PhD, FACS, FRCSC; view a list of past awardees and their research.
