The Greenwood Award is named in honor of the late Frederick C.
Greenwood. During his tenure as Director of the Pacific Biomedical
Research Center and Program Director of the RCMI Program at the
University of Hawaii, Fred worked tirelessly to increase the ranks of
minority scientists and promote research on health issues that affect
ethnic minorities.
The Awards are presented biennially to a scientist in recognition of research excellence involving minority health issues and/or a research administrator for long-time meritorious service to minority institutions.
