The Omenn Prize is awarded by the International Society for Evolution,
Medicine, and Public Health https://isemph.org for the best article
published in the previous calendar year on a topic related to evolution in
the context of medicine and public health. The first author is invited,
expenses paid, to present a plenary talk at the Society's annual meeting.
This year's meeting will be July 28-31 in Kiel Germany. Abstracts for the
meeting are still welcome.

The winning article is announced in May and the prize is awarded to the
first author of the article at the ISEMPH annual meeting. The prize
includes travel, lodging, and an invitation to present at talk at the
ISEMPH annual meeting.  All peer-reviewed articles that use evolutionary
principles to advance understanding of a disease or disease process are
eligible.  The prize committee will give priority to articles with
implications for human health, but many basic science or theoretical
articles have such implications. Authors are encouraged to nominate their
own articles, but nominations of articles by others are also welcome.

The prize is made possible by a generous donation by Gilbert Omenn, M.D.,
PhD. Director of the Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics
at the University of Michigan where he is a Professor of Internal Medicine,
Human Genetics, and Public Health. Dr. Omenn served as Executive Vice
President for Medical Affairs as Chief Executive Officer of the University
of Michigan Health System from 1997-2002. He is a past president of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the
Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences.
