Abstract

In 1983 the Council of the American Society of Nephrology instituted the John P. Peters Award to recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to clinical Nephrology. The award is presented at the annual meeting and is a counterpart to the Homer W. Smith Award, co-sponsored by the American Society of Nephrology and the New York Heart Association, which recognizes achievements in basic Nephrology research. The Award was named for John P. Peters, Professor of Medicine and Director of Metabolism and Renal Diseases at Yale who was a leader in establishing the specialty of Nephrology in the United States by his training of many leading academic Nephrologists.

The first recipient of the Award in 1983 was Donald W. Seldin and subsequent awards were given to Jean Hamburger and John P. Merrill in 1984, to Franklin H. Epstein in 1985, to Belding H. Scribner in 1986 and to Conrad L. Pirani and Jacob Churg in 1987.
