+The Lifetime Achievement Award was first presented in 1994 to honor major long-term achievements in the fields of limnology and oceanography, including research, education and service to the community and society. In 2004, the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography board renamed the award in honor of Alfred C. Redfield.

+The A.G. Huntsman Award for Excellence in the Marine Sciences was established in 1980 by the Canadian marine science community to recognize excellence of research and outstanding contributions to marine sciences. It is presented by the Royal Society of Canada. The award honours marine scientists of any nationality who have had and continue to have a significant influence on the course of marine scientific thought.  It is named in honour of Archibald Gowanlock Huntsman (1883–1973), a pioneer Canadian oceanographer and fishery biologist.
+
+
+== A.G. Huntsman Medal ==
+The award consists of a specially designed fine silver medal showing the CSS Hudson.
+
+
+== A.G. Huntsman Foundation ==
+The A.G. Huntsman Award is administered by the A.G. Huntsman Foundation, based at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Nova Scotia.  The foundation is organized as an independent, charitable, tax-free foundation. Business of the foundation is conducted by a board of directors and executive officers. The Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia serves as Honorary Patron of the Huntsman Foundation.
+The award is presented annually by the Royal Society of Canada. The annual process of selection is conducted by a separate selection committee of Canadian marine scientists. The  award ceremony takes place in the late fall at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography.
+The award was created in 1980 under the leadership of scientists at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography.  The award is now recognized as a major international prize. It is funded principally by interest earned on financial contributions originally received from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Natural Resources Canada, the Province of Nova Scotia, and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers. Additional endowment was later granted from the LiFT Family Fund through Gift Funds Canada.
+
+
+== Nominations ==
+The A.G. Huntsman Medal is awarded to those men and women, of any nationality, who have had and still have a significant influence on the course of marine scientific thought; for unequalled excellence in their respective fields; for the influence of their work on the course of scientific thought in their respective fields; and for their continuing and current activities at the forefront of their respective fields.
+The A.G. Huntsman Award reflects the multi-faceted nature of research in the world's oceans. From 1980 to 2013, the award was presented annually in one of three categories – Marine Geoscience, Physical/Chemical Oceanography, and Biological Oceanography and Fisheries Science – except in its inaugural year when recipients were honoured in all three. To mark its 25th anniversary in 2005, the award was again presented in all three of the above categories, as well as in the category of Interdisciplinary Marine Science. Since 2014, the category distinctions have been dropped in recognition that many facets of marine science are multi-disciplinary or interdisciplinary in character.

+The AAAS Award for Scientific Freedom and Responsibility is given by the American Association for the Advancement of Science and honours scientists and engineers whose exemplary actions, often taken at significant personal cost, have served to foster scientific freedom and responsibility and increased scientific awareness throughout the world. According to the AAAS, exemplary actions include "acting to protect the public's health, safety or welfare; focusing public attention on important potential impacts of science and technology on society by their responsible participation in public policy debates."
+
+
+== History ==
+The establishment of this new Award for Scientific Freedom and Responsibility was announced by AAAS executive officer William D. Carey on 23 October 1980. The award, presented for the first time at the 1982 AAAS Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, consisted of a plaque and a cash prize of $1,000.

+The Doctor Juan Abarca International Award in Medical Sciences, known as the Abarca Prize, is an award that recognises research and innovation through a biomedical finding of global significance.
+
+
+== Background ==
+Created in 2020 by the Fundación de Investigación HM Hospitales, it is awarded to the scientific or medical career of a person who has made a significant contribution to the protection, improvement or rehabilitation of people's health.
+The award, endowed with 100,000 euros, is inspired by the Spanish surgeon Juan Abarca Campal, founder of HM Hospitales. The jury, appointed by the  Fundación de Investigación HM Hospitales, is made up of members of the scientific community.
+
+
+== Abarca Prize ==
+
+
+=== 2021 ===
+The first edition of the award was held in October 2021. The award ceremony was chaired by King Felipe VI. The jury was headed by Alberto Muñoz, professor at the Instituto de Investigaciones Biomédicas de Madrid (IIBM) and included Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet, Silvia G. Priori, scientific director of the ICS Maugeri Hospital, palaeoanthropologist Juan Luis Arsuaga, and Federico de Montalvo, former president of the Spanish Bioethics Committee. The Abarca Prize was awarded to Professor Jean-Laurent Casanova for his findings in the field of human infections and the genetic variations that affect a person's ability to fight them. Dr. Casanova is a researcher at Rockefeller University Hospital in New York and director of the St. Giles Laboratory of Human Genetics and Infectious Diseases.
+
+
+=== 2022 ===
+In 2022 the prize was awarded to Professor Philippe J. Sansonetti of the Pasteur Institute for his research on Shigellosis or bacillary dysentery. This diarrheal disease caused by the bacterium Shigella causes thousands of deaths annually in developed countries, mainly affecting children. The jury was composed of Professors Juan Luis Arsuaga, Silvia Priori, Jean-Laurent Casanova and Federico de Montalvo, and was chaired by Professor Alberto Muñoz, from the Institute of Biomedical Research of Madrid (IIB- CSIC). The award was presented by the Spanish Secretary of State for Health, Silvia Calzón.
+
+
+=== 2023 ===
+Professor Douglas A. Melton, won the III Abarca Prize in its 2023 call, for his advances towards a cure for diabetes. Douglas A. Melton is co-director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, a Howard Hughes Institute of Medicine investigator and an investigator at Vertex Pharmaceuticals.
+Melton's research has pioneered the process of converting stem cells into insulin-producing beta cells, which would enable cell replacement therapy for type 1 diabetes. The award was presented by the Spanish Minister of Health, José Miñones.
+
+
+=== 2024 ===
+The immunologist Carl H. June, director of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy at the University of Pennsylvania, was awarded the fourth prize for the discovery of a revolutionary therapy for treating blood cancers based on cellular engineering. The CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor) cell therapy harnesses the body's own immune system to fight cancer. Carl H. June is the Richard W. Vague Professor of Immunotherapy at the Vague School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. In 2024, his scientific team is working to apply this treatment to other solid neoplasms, autoimmune diseases (such as lupus) and other non-oncological diseases. The jury for the 4th edition was made up of Professors Silvia Priori, who chaired the jury, Philippe J. Sansonetti, Pura Muñoz-Cánoves, Sandra Myrna Diaz, Federico de Montalvo, Juan Luis Arsuaga and the winner of the 2023 call, Professor Douglas A. Melton. Dr June was received by King Felipe VI after the award ceremony, together with Juan Abarca Cidón, President of HM Hospitales, Elena Abarca Cidón, Vice-President of HM Hospitales, and Alberto Muñoz Terol, President of the HM Hospitales Research Foundation.
+
+
+=== 2025 ===
+In 2025, the fifth edition of the award was presented to Dutch scientist Hans Clevers. A biologist and immunologist, Clevers's research into organoid technology has earned him recognition from the scientific community. He is a professor of Molecular genetics at Utrecht University and a driving force behind the Institute for Human Biology (IHB). His research into organoid technology enables the simulation of human organs and the modelling of individual pathologies, allowing treatments to be adapted to the specific conditions of each patient. According to Dr Clevers, "organoids can predict with 85% accuracy whether a drug will be effective against cancer". The award was presented by Spanish Health Minister Mónica García on 30 October 2025.
