Anders Jahre's Awards for Medical Research

Anders Jahre's Awards for Medical Research honor research of outstanding quality in basic and clinical medicine, and are among the largest within Nordic biomedical research. Originally established in 1953 when Anders Jahre donated one million Norwegian kroner to the University of Oslo, the award was first bestowed in 1960. The prize recognizes eminent researchers who have made significant contributions to medical science. Three awards are typically given each year to acknowledge outstanding achievements in both basic and clinical medical research within the Nordic region.
