Maintaining a community of excellence in transplantation requires the ongoing recruitment of outstanding students and residents to the field.  The ASTS Pipeline Award recognizes an ASTS member who is dedicated to student and resident development through outreach, clinical engagement or research efforts. Each year, the Pipeline Taskforce will recognize the recipient during the Awards Ceremony at the Winter Symposium. This award is distinct from the Francis Moore mentorship award in that it recognizes mentorship efforts directed towards medical students and residents, in contrast to fellows and junior faculty.

Award Amount: The award recipient will support the attendance of one of his/her mentees to the ASTS Winter Symposium, including a $1,500 honorarium, hotel accommodations for three nights (room and tax only), and complimentary registration to the Winter Symposium.
