Janet Davison Rowley Patient Impact Research Award Requirements

The Janet Davison Rowley Patient Impact Research Award is given to one or more researchers, clinicians or computational biologists who have created positive patient impact through repurposing research. We honor the impact Dr. Rowley (1925-2013) had on patients through her clinical care and medical research, including her pioneering work that led to the creation of drugs that were later repurposed for additional indications.

The researcher, clinician and/or computational biologist selected must fit the following profile:

• Has successfully repurposed a drug, device or nutraceutical for human clinical use, which is either used off-label or has been approved by the FDA or other regulatory agency; has made significant advancements in repurposing research; and/or is a recognized thought leader in repurposing research

• Has published repurposing research data in the scientific literature

• Patients who use or used a repurposed treatment discovered and/or advanced by the nominee enjoy an increased quality and/or length of life

• Will work with Cures Within Reach on public recognition of the award
