The awardee is expected to be a member of the Microcirculatory Society, an active investigator who has published and continues to provide meritorious research in the field of microcirculation. The award consists of a certificate and $2000 to be used to defray the cost of travel to the annual meeting to receive the award or otherwise at the discretion of the awardee.
