The selection process for awards in epidemiology typically involves several steps:
Nominations: Colleagues, institutions, or even the candidates themselves submit nominations, outlining the nominee's achievements and contributions. Review Committees: Panels of experts in epidemiology review the nominations. These committees assess the impact, innovation, and relevance of the candidates' work. Criteria Evaluation: Specific criteria, such as the significance of research findings, contributions to public health, and educational impact, guide the evaluation process. Final Selection: After thorough review and discussion, the committee selects the award recipient(s) based on the established criteria.
