Call for 2022 Nominations—January 2022

The ACS-Pfizer Award nomination website is currently closed. Updates relating to the 2022 nomination process will be provided in December 2021, and the call for 2022 nominations will be announced in January 2022.

There are six award categories for which an individual can be nominated: humanitarian, academic global surgeon, domestic volunteerism, international volunteerism, military, and resident.

Nominators should also be aware of the following:

• Self-nominations are permissible and encouraged. Such nominations require at least two outside letters of recommendation. One of the letters must be submitted by a Fellow of the College. In addition, self-nominators must submit three references that the Workgroup may contact. It is required that at least one reference also be a Fellow of the College.
• Re-nomination of a previous nominee is acceptable and encouraged. A resubmission requires completion of a new application. Applicants are encouraged to consider adding additional details and supporting narratives to strengthen their application.
• The Workgroup reserves the right to move a nominee from one category to another based on review of the application.
