Eligibility:

The Distinguished Career Award is presented annually by the American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology to a senior physician who during his or her career has had a major impact on the subspecialty, through some combination of research, education, patient care and advocacy. Although award recipients do not necessarily need to be pediatric hematology/oncology specialists, the individual should be willing to personally accept the award during a ceremony at the ASPHO Conference.

ASPHO Awards are open year-round for nomination and application. Applications submitted between October 2, 2024 and September 30, 2025 will be considered for the 2026 awards cycle and presented at the 2026 ASPHO Conference in Minneapolis, MN.
