As a tribute to the late Dr. Brown, first president of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), a group of his family and friends established the G. Malcolm Brown Memorial Fund. The income from which will be used for the advancement of research in the health sciences in Canada. In recognition of Dr. Brown's own conviction that every encouragement should be given to increasing Canadian awareness of Canadian contributions to science, and following consultation with senior officers of the Canadian Society for Clinical Investigation, the Canadian Federation of Biological Societies and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, awards have taken the form of annual lectureship bearing Dr. Brown's name, in conjunction with meetings of these major national organizations.

On a rotating basis the above three organizations are responsible for selecting the awardees. CFBS had the pleasure of selecting the winner of the G. Malcolm Brown Award for 2004. The award includes a certificate as well as a cash award of $1,500.

Each nomination must be signed by three members of the Federation. Nominations should include a resume of the nominee's contributions to biomedical research, a current curriculum vitae, and letters supporting the research efforts identified in the resume. The Award winner receives a cash honorarium of $1,500.00 plus expenses associated with attending the CFBS Annual Meeting. The Nominee should be available to present the award lecture at the CFBS June 2007 Conference, University of Waterloo http://www.cfbs.org/annual.html.
