About ASHG
The American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) is the world’s largest professional community driving the field of human genetics and genomics research and translation, with decades of leadership supporting new discovery and applications. The ASHG meeting, first held in 1948, has grown to become the world’s largest annual meeting in human genetics and genomics with attendance of 8,000 or more each year. Soon after, the Society published the first edition of The American Journal of Human Genetics, which launched in 1949.
Each year, the editorial board of Human Genetics and Genomics Advances selects two articles published in HGG Advances in the previous year for this award. The award recognizes outstanding contributions to the field made by young investigators who have no more than five years of research experience since completing postdoctoral research training or its equivalent and are ASHG members at the time of acceptance. Two HGG Advances Awards for Outstanding Early Career Publication will be given annually, with a monetary award of $1,000 and certificates presented to the recipients at the Annual Meeting. Formerly known as the HGG Advances Early Career Investigator Award.
