May 24, 2011
On May 3, 2011, Tom Beauchamp, along with Jim Childress, received the Hastings Center's Research Ethics Award, known as the Henry Knowles Beecher Award. This award has one of the most distinguished histories of any research ethics award, with nominations received from around the world. The Award "recognizes individuals who have made a lifetime contribution to ethics and the life sciences and whose careers have been devoted to excellence in scholarship, research, and ethical inquiry."
Tom is the third KIE Scholar to receive this honor, following R. McCormick and Ed Pellegrino. Inclusive of this year's awards, only 18 people have been honored in this way -- with 1/6 of the award recipients coming from Georgetown.
