Greetings:
On behalf of the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation, I invite you to submit a nomination
for the 2004 Albert Lasker Medical Research Awards.
The Awards will be offered in three categories: Basic Medical Research, Clinical Medical
Research, and Special Achievement in Medical Science. This is the 59th year of these
awards. Since the program was first established in 1944, 68 Lasker Laureates have later
won Nobel Prizes. Additional information on previous Lasker Laureates can be found
online at our web site http://www.laskerfoundation.org.
Nominations that have been made in previous years may be updated and resubmitted in
accordance with the instructions on page 2 of this nomination booklet.
Nominations should be received by the Foundation no later than February 2, 2004.
A distinguished panel of jurors will select the scientists to be honored. The 2004 Albert
Lasker Medical Research Awards will be presented at a luncheon ceremony given by the
Foundation in New York City on Friday, October 1, 2004.
Sincerely,
Joseph L. Goldstein, M.D.
Chairman, Awards Jury

The major purpose of these Awards is to recognize and honor individuals who have made signifi-
cant contributions in basic or clinical research in diseases that are the main cause of death and
disability. The Award winners may reside in any country of the world.
The Awards are intended to recognize contributions that have opened new fields of research, advanc-
ing novel concepts or their applications in a particular biomedical discipline. These advances may
consist of a specific contribution or a long series of contributions that demonstrate the nominee’s
significant leadership towards the development of research concepts or their clinical application.
A list of previous recipients of the Lasker Awards in Basic Medical Research, Clinical Medical
Research and Special Achievement in Medical Science is included at the end of this booklet.
Each Award consists of an honorarium, a citation and an inscribed statuette of the Winged Victory
of Samothrace, symbolizing victory over death and disease.
When the Award is given to more than one individual in a category, the honorarium will be divided
among the winners, and each will receive a statuette and a citation. More than one scientist may be
nominated if they have worked as a team, or if they independently have made comparable contri-
butions in their field. No more than three individuals will be considered for an Award in the basic
or clinical category.
The Jurors’ evaluations of the contributions of the nominees depend heavily on the information
supplied in the nomination forms. Therefore, the nomination should be accurate, detailed, current
and complete. Supporting letters that specifically address the nominee’s scientific accomplishments
will be helpful to the Jury.

Basic Medical Research Award ($50,000)
This Award honors the scientist or scientists who have made fundamental investigations that open
new areas of biomedical science.
Clinical Medical Research Award ($50,000)
This Award honors the scientist or scientists whose contributions, directly or indirectly, have led
to the improvement of the clinical management or treatment of patients and to the alleviation or
elimination of one of the major medical causes of disability or death.
Special Achievement Award in Medical Science ($25,000)
This Award was inaugurated in 1996. It honors a scientist whose contributions to research are of
unique magnitude and immeasurable influence on the course of science, health, or medicine, and
whose professional career has engendered within the biomedical community the deepest feelings of awe
and respect.
