Distinguished Career Award Nominations

Dear IDSOG Members,

One of the central pillars of IDSOG is our exceptional membership who works tirelessly across research, clinical education, care and public health practice to advance health for women and people assigned female sex at birth. While we have celebrated the careers of a number of our members, the executive committee seeks to formalize this process so we may celebrate the career-spanning achievements of our members on an annual basis. To that end, the executive committee is soliciting nominations for the IDSOG Distinguished Career Award. This award is presented to a person with a long and extraordinary career at the intersection of gynecology, obstetrics and infectious diseases.

Please submit nominees using the Distinguished Career Award Nomination Form.

– Nominations must include the CV of the nominee and a single, short (one-page maximum) letter summarizing why the nominee is being put forward (multiple individuals can be signatories on the nomination letter).
– Current members of the executive board or IDSOG council are not eligible.
– Nominations will carry forward for a second year if the nominee does not win during this cycle, but get your nominations in 
before Friday, May 23rd, 2025, to see the winner for the 2025 Annual Meeting!

Past recipients include:
2016 – David Soper, MD
2012 – Heather Watts, MD

We look forward to hearing from you!
