The Donna Lamping Emerging Leader Award was established in 2011 to honor and commemorate past-President Donna Lamping’s contribution to the leadership of the Society. It is awarded to members showing exceptional leadership skills and potential by initiating and/or steering an ISOQOL task or project to successful completion.

The Outstanding Volunteer Service Award is awarded to ISOQOL members who have gone above and beyond what is reasonably expected in their respective ISOQOL volunteer roles during the 12 months preceding the nomination. While nominations are due in May, this recognition may not be awarded every year.

The International Society for Quality of Life Research (ISOQOL) is a global community of researchers, clinicians, health care professionals, industry professionals, consultants, and patient research partners advancing health related quality of life research (HRQL).

Together, we are creating a future in which patient perspective is integral to health research, care and policy.
