C. Gordon Van Arman Scholarship
Awards
 The Inflammation
Research Association sponsors a competition for the encouragement of
young scientists to perform exploratory and applied research in the
general area of inflammation. Contestants must be candidates for
advanced degrees: M.S., Ph.D., M.D., D.O., D.D.S., D.V.M., and first
year post-doctoral fellows. Those who have won first place in a
previous year are ineligible to compete again.
The awards are in recognition of the late C. Gordon Van Arman who
had a long and distinguished research career as an industrial
scientist, during which he published over 100 scientific papers. The
development of the drugs diphenoxylate, disopyramide, sulindac, and
diflunisal can be directly attributed to his work. In 1970, Dr. Van
Arman with Edward L. Takesue, Marvin E. Rosenthale and Mary Lee
Graeme founded the Inflammation Research Association as an informal
forum for bench scientists to exchange research ideas in
inflammatory diseases. Through this award, the IRA wishes to develop
a commitment to high quality inflammation research in young
scientists.
Prior to the Conference, the Scholarship Committee selects the five
finalists based on submitted mini-papers. Finalists will attend the
Conference and participate in poster and oral presentations to the
committee. Awards will be presented at the Conference Banquet to the
winners.
