For almost 80 years, the Endocrine Society has recognized the meritorious achievements of endocrine researchers and clinicians worldwide. These awards recognize endocrinologists for seminal research, meritorious service, leadership and mentorship, innovation, international contributions, translation of science to practice, and lifetime achievement.
Award categories honor the achievements of endocrinologists at all stages of their careers, recognizing those at the pinnacle of the field as well as young endocrinologists who are making a mark. The dedication, commitment, and achievements of current and past award recipients have each earned a place in endocrine history.
Nominations for the 2026 Laureate Awards are now being accepted through January 21, 2025.
Nominees may only be awarded one Laureate award per year. Multiple nominations for the same person across multiple awards will not be considered by the Laureate Awards committee. Please choose the most appropriate award to submit your nomination. Additionally, multiple nominations for the same person for the same award will not be accepted. If multiple nominations for the same nominee are received, staff will contact the nominators to consolidate the nomination package into one for submission.
Nominations received through January 21, 2025, will be considered at the Laureate Awards Committee meeting in summer 2025. Nominations received after that date will be considered for the following year’s awards. The 2026 Laureate awardees will be recognized at ENDO 2026.
