1998 AWARD
THE TANNER-VANDEPUT-BOSWICK BURN PRIZE
The Tanner-Vandeput
Burn Prize (now the Tanner-Vandeput-Boswick Burn Prize) was started in 1984 by Dr J.C.
Tanner of Atlanta. Georgia, co-inventor with Dr. Jacques Vandeput of the Tanner-Vandeput
mesh dermatome. The Prize was conceived and established to promote the aims of the
International Society for Burn Injuries and to motivate individual investigators to
perform research, undertake patient care and treatment, and attempt to solve other aspects
of the burn problem. In 1984 the ISBI Executive Committee voted to accept Dr Tanner's
offer to work with the ISBI in coordinating the Prize, which consists of a cash payment
and a gold and diamond piD. The Prize is awarded at each Quadrennial Congress of the ISBI.
The International Burn Foundation was created to promote and administer the Prize. In 1991
Dr Tanner requested that the name be changed to the "Tanner-Vandeput-Boswick Burn
Prize" to reflect the contributions of Dr John Boswick, who has been Chairman of the
Foundation Board of Directors since inception. The first award was presented to Dr Ian
Alan Holder of Cincinnati at the 7th ISBf Congress in Melbourne in 1986. The second award
was presented to Dr Forturiato Benaim of Buenos Aires at the 8th ISBI Congress in New
Delhi in 1990. The third award was presented to Dr John F Burke of Boston at the 9th ISBI
Congress in Paris in 1994. The next award will be presented at the 10th ISBI Congress to
be held November in Israel. The Prize consists of a gold pin and a cash payment
anticipated to be in excess of $100,000. The Prize will go to a person (or persons) who in
the opinion of the Prize Committee has made an outstanding contribution to any aspect of
the burn field. This could be a specific achievement or might represent a body of work
over a period of years. The recipient does not have to be a physician or a member of the
ISBI. Nominations for the 1998 Prize may be made by colleagues of those who have made such
major contributions, or a candidate may make application on his own behalf. Anyone
interested in making a nomination should request an application form from the
International Burn Foundation at the address below.
