The Asan Award in Medicine (frequently written as the ASAN Award in Medicine; Korean: 아산의학상) is an annual medical award presented by the Asan Foundation (ko). Not to be confused with their other prize, the ASAN Award, which is given for volunteer work, nor the Asan Memorial Poetry Prize given by the Asan Memorial Association in memory of Malayalam poet Kumaran Asan.[1] Established in 2007, the Asan Award in Medicine is presented in the categories of Basic Medicine, Clinical Medicine, and Young Medical Scientists who are under the age of 40.[2] For the first five years there was a singular laureate but now there is laureate for basic and clinical and up to three young scientists laureates.[3]
History
Raised in 2013 to encourage medical research,[4] prize money for the first two categories is 300 million KRW, and for found scientists it is 50 million KRW each.[5] While the Foundation's website mentions the award is given to "medical scientists devoting themselves to the country’s medical development", the Award's website mentions the honor can be presented to medical scientists of any citizenship who "have made contributions to the development of Korea's medical science." International recipients receive their prize money in US$250,000.[3]
