2020 The Tyler Prize For Stimulation of Research recipient: James Cloyd, PharmD

 

The Tyler Prize for Stimulation of Research recognizes an individual(s) for encouraging research by peers, students, fellows, residents, and others via publications or by directing research, serving as a preceptor, or mentoring in any discipline of the pharmaceutical sciences. This award is considered one of the three most prestigious APhA scientific awards and is presented every 3 years. The award was established in 1962 as the Stimulation of Research Award and was renamed The Tyler Prize for Stimulation of Research in 2002 in recognition of the distinguished scientific and administrative career of Varro “Tip” Tyler (1926-2001).

Evaluation criteria

The nominee must have stimulated research in others as evidenced by his/her ability to motivate and inspire by performance or counsel and the ability to lead others toward outstanding accomplishments and effective careers in his/her particular field. Quantity and quality of research stimulated by the nominee in the individuals trained or mentored by the nominee will be given important consideration. This award is not restricted to members of the APhA Academy of Pharmaceutical Research and Science (APhA-APRS), but recipients must be an APhA member. The research area for which the award is presented will rotate among the disciplines represented by the APhA-APRS sections. In 2023, the award will recognize contributions in the area of economic, social and administrative sciences. Self-nominations are allowed and encouraged for this award. Remington Honor Medalists are not eligible.
