Comment

The E. Mead Johnson Award, given by the Society for Pediatric Research, was established in 1939 to honor clinical and laboratory research achievements in pediatrics. The awards are funded by Mead Johnson Nutritionals, a subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb and are named after Edward Mead Johnson, a co-founder of the originating company Johnson & Johnson.

In most years, two prizes are awarded. Two researchers sometimes share a prize.
