Carl A. Moyer Resident Award This award is given at the Annual Meeting for the best paper submitted by a medical doctor who has not yet completed his/her formal training (resident or medical student). Dr. Moyer (1908-1970) was a brilliant surgical investigator and a charismatic teacher. He was deeply interested in the burn problem. Perhaps his most important contribution was to stimulate a major interest in burns in a sizable cohort of young surgeons, several of whom later have themselves become leaders in the field. He introduced the topical use of silver nitrate to prevent infection in major burns. His laboratory and clinical research emphasized and elucidated the fundamental role of sodium salt solutions in burn/trauma resuscitation and has enormously influenced modern medical-surgical practice. He also pointed out the magnitude and potential physiological significance of transcutaneous evaporative heat loss in the severely burned, work which important enough itself has also stimulated many others to explore the causes of post-burn hypermetabolism and its consequences. The Moyer award is an eminently suitable memorial to this surgeon, scientist, and teacher. The award is sponsored by the American Burn Association and carries with it a $500 honorarium and medal. Application for this award is made by indicating on the abstract form that the primary author would like to be considered for the award, and submitting the abstract and a complete manuscript prior to their respective deadline dates. Individual papers are judged by the Program Committee and one is selected. The Committee may opt not to present this award if no suitable paper is submitted. 2013 Amy Somerset, BS 2012 Alexander Melinyshyn, BSc 2011 Christopher S.

Robert B. Lindberg Award This award is given at the Annual Meeting for the best scientific paper submitted by a non-physician. Robert B. Lindberg, PhD, (1914-1982) was an internationally recognized microbiologist whose research career spanned more than half a century. Dr. Lindberg's extensive knowledge of wound microbiology was acquired during World War II and with the U.S. Army Surgical Research Team during the Korean Conflict. During his long tenure at the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research (1961-81), Dr. Lindberg was an integral member of the multidisciplinary team that investigated the pathogenesis of burn would infection. He actually examined and personally cultured wounds in performing extensive research on the clinical microbiology of burn wounds. He instituted innovative epidemiologic surveillance systems and identified sources of contamination in the patient care environment. His findings were instrumental in defining the significance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization and infection in burn patients. Dr. Lindberg developed the still current "gold standard" animal model for evaluating topical antimicrobial agents. That landmark accomplishment and his laboratory contributions during subsequent clinical trials established Mafenide (Sulfamylon) as the first effective topical burn agent. Dr. Lindberg's scientific discoveries and his singular contributions as a nonphysician member of the burn team are memorialized by the annual award of the American Burn Association's Robert B. Lindberg Medal. The award is sponsored by the American Burn Association and carries with it a $500 honorarium and the medal.
