Canadian biomedical award
Canada Gairdner International Award Awarded for Outstanding discoveries or contributions to medical science Country
Canada Presented by Gairdner Foundation First awarded 1959 Website
http://www.gairdner.org/
The Canada Gairdner International Award is given annually by the
Gairdner Foundation at a special dinner to five individuals for outstanding discoveries or contributions to medical science. Receipt of the Gairdner is traditionally considered a precursor to winning the
Nobel Prize in Medicine ; as of 2020, 98 Nobel Prizes have been awarded to prior Gairdner recipients.
[1]
Canada Gairdner International Awards are given annually in the amount of $100,000 (each) payable in Canadian funds and can be awarded to residents of any country in the world. A joint award may be given for the same discovery or contribution to medical science, but in that case each awardee receives a full prize.
