Sidney H. Ingbar Distinguished Service Award
Janet Hall, MD
Since her first service to the Endocrine Society as an abstract reviewer in 1990, Dr. Hall has served continuously on journal boards, Society committees, and/or in Society leadership positions. She has been a strong advocate of clinical and translational research both within and outside the Society; as chair of the Clinical Research Task Force, which resulted in restructuring the Research Affairs Committee to encompass Basic and Clinical Science Subcommittees; as the first Society vice president for clinical sciences and as the Society representative to the board of FASEB where she established and was the inaugural chair of the Clinical Research Subcommittee of FASEB’s longstanding Public Advocacy Committee.
In addition, Dr. Hall has consistently advocated for close relationships across all of the Society’s constituencies. Her nuanced understanding of the important issues for each constituency and her recognition of the thought leaders across the Society were particularly important on the AMSC, the Nominating and Laureate Awards Committees, on two separate Strategic Planning Committees, and as president of the Society.
Dr. Hall’s service to the broader endocrine community is evidenced by her active participation in Women in Endocrinology, serving on and chairing the Nominating and Awards Committees and serving as president. Likewise, her service on review panels, advisory boards, and working groups has been extraordinary. In addition to two terms as a permanent member of an NIH study section, she has served more than 25 times as an ad hoc reviewer or site visit member and is a current member of the exam committee of the American Board of Internal Medicine.
With 25 years of exceptional service to the Endocrine Society and to the professional endocrinology community, Dr. Hall is an outstanding candidate for this award.
