Each year ASBMT presents two editorial awards to new investigators published in Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, the Society’s monthly peer-reviewed journal.

• George Santos Award
for best clinical research article
• Ernest McCulloch & James Till Award
for best basic science article

Both awards are accompanied by a $5,000 prize that is presented at the BMT Tandem Meetings. The two annual awards are supported by grants from StemCell Technologies Inc. and StemSoft Software Inc., Vancouver.

To be eligible, a recipient must be not more than five years past a graduate or post-doctoral program or a clinical research fellowship, or currently active in a training program as a clinical resident or fellow, post-doctoral fellow, medical student, graduate student or undergraduate student. The winning articles must have been published in the current Volume 12 (2006) of the journal.

Many authors choose Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation for submitting basic and clinical research articles because:

• The readership is highly focused in the field of hematopoietic progenitor stem cell transplantation.
• The turnaround time from article acceptance to publication averages 40 days for a "rapid publication" and 75 days for a regular article.
• There are no author page charges.
• The journal has an ISI Impact Factor of 3.561, ranking it among the top transplant journals.

The judging committee for the editorial awards is the BBMT Editorial Board and ASBMT Publications Committee.
