History of the Winn Award Programs
The Robert A. Winn Excellence in Clinical Trials Award Program (Winn Awards) was established in 2020 by the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation to improve participation in clinical trials to drive better health outcomes in all communities to save more lives.
The Winn Awards are programs for physicians and rising medical students at various points in their career pathway. The Winn Career Development Award (Winn CDA) and the Winn Clinical Investigator Pathway Program (Winn CIPP) are led by a nationwide Winn Awards implementation team. The Winn Clinical Investigator Leadership Awards (Winn CILA) are implemented by collaborating organizations: Conquer Cancer the ASCO Foundation and the American Heart Association.
About Dr. Winn
