The Selection Process
The Dr. Paul Janssen Award recipients are selected by an independent committee of internationally renowned scientists from leading academic and scientific institutions, whose own research contributions have resulted in critical advances in improving human health. The 2010 Selection Committee includes past Nobel Laureates, members of the National Academy of Sciences and previous winners of The Dr. Paul Janssen Award.
The Selection Committee chooses a scientist in basic or clinical research, who:
• Has made a significant contribution to research that has impacted, or has strong potential to impact, human health through the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of disease
• Exhibits the standards of innovation, insight and leadership that Janssen exemplified during his career
• Provides a living example that the study of science and technology can enable or has the potential to enable extended, healthy, productive life
• Displays a set of ethical values consistent with the Johnson & Johnson Credo and those values that guide Johnson & Johnson
The Dr. Paul Janssen Award can be given to a scientist in academia, government, industry, a private research institution or medical or clinical practice. It typically will recognize an individual scientist, but can be shared in circumstances in which the contributions of the nominees are viewed as being of similar importance.

Famous quotes containing the words selection and/or process:
“It is the highest and most legitimate pride of an Englishman to have the letters M.P. written after his name. No selection from the alphabet, no doctorship, no fellowship, be it of ever so learned or royal a society, no knightship,—not though it be of the Garter,—confers so fair an honour.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“That which endures is not one or another association of living forms, but the process of which the cosmos is the product, and of which these are among the transitory expressions.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
