Description
The Neer Award was established in honor of Dr. Charles S. Neer, who was one of the founding members and the first president of ASES. The award was created to provide recognition for outstanding clinical and basic science investigations contributing to the understanding, care or prevention of injuries to the Shoulder.
Both a Clinical Research Award and a Basic Science Research Award in Shoulder will be awarded each year.
Submissions
Authors of The Neer Award manuscripts must submit directly to Steve Mlodoch (smlodoch@ases-assn.org), Director of Operations by July 1st each year at 8pm PST for the following year’s ASES Specialty Day. The manuscript should be formatted according to the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery.
- Cover Letter with disclosure statements (see below)
- Title page with authors, affiliation, and corresponding author contact
- Blinded manuscript reporting original research
Submissions for Neer Award are NOT automatically considered as part of the abstract submission process for the ASES Annual Meeting and the AAOS-ASES Specialty Day Meeting. Applicants must submit to these programs separately. In other words, you must submit an abstract separately if you would like your research to be considered for presentation at the ASES Annual Meeting in the event that it does not win a Research Award.
- It is strongly recommended that manuscripts report the results of high quality, high level of evidence, original research and only a single manuscript can be submitted for the clinical papers or basic science papers.
- Retrospective research and systematic reviews are typically not considered for the Award.
Cover Letter and Disclosure
Authors must include a brief cover letter with their manuscript. In this letter, authors must disclose any prior acceptance of their research for presentation or publication. This cover letter must be signed by all authors and include the following statement:
“I submit this paper for consideration of the Neer Award. I affirm that the information contained in this submission fairly and accurately represents original work. I assume full responsibility for securing the necessary clearance and permission for possible publication and presentation from any contracting supervisory research agency holding presentation material copyrights. I understand that, if selected, I will receive the award at the time of an oral presentation of my work at the Annual Meeting of ASES or Specialty Day Meeting. I certify that this data has not been presented, published, or accepted for presentation or publication prior to the awards deadline unless disclosed above. I further certify that no portion of the data has been presented, published, or accepted for presentation or publication elsewhere unless disclosed above. I certify that, if selected, The Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery will have the first rights of publication, subject to its established editorial policies.”
Application Policy
- ASES recognizes that large and highly organized research organizations may submit multiple papers for The Neer Award. While all submissions are encouraged, ASES discourages multiple submissions using substantially the same experimental design, and/or personnel expertise. Submission should be the BEST work, rather than each iteration of a large project.
- Only one submission per author per award will be permitted each year. An author may submit a Shoulder paper for The Neer Clinical Science Award, The Neer Basic Science Award and also an Elbow paper for The Morrey Award.
- No portion of the data presented in the manuscript can have been published or accepted for publication prior to the award submission deadline.
- Papers cannot have been presented or accepted for presentation at an ASES Annual Meeting or ASES Specialty Day prior to submission. If any portion of the submission has been presented or accepted for presentation elsewhere, the application must include a copy of the abstract of previously shared data with meeting date, location, and organization disclosed. All work must be original to be considered for an Award.
- At least one author on the submitted manuscript must be a member of ASES in good standing.
- Research must be carried out in academic or private practice centers. Studies carried out by or in industry centers will not be accepted for an award. No author may be an industry employee.
- The primary author of a manuscript selected for the Neer Award will be expected to deliver a presentation at the ASES Specialty Day. All papers presented at the Specialty Day and Annual Meeting of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons become the property of the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery. Winning manuscripts require submission directly to the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery for consideration of publication. Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery must decline publication of the manuscript before it can be submitted elsewhere.
Charles S. Neer, II, M.D. (1917-2011) was born on November 10, 1917 and raised in Vinita, Oklahoma. His father was a pioneer Oklahoma Territory Physician and Surgeon and his grandfather was also a physician. After graduating from Dartmouth College he received his MD from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School where he also did his internship in general surgery. He started his residency on the Fracture Service of the Presbyterian Hospital in New York City but this was interrupted as he proudly served as a Captain in the U.S. Army during World War II first in Europe under General George Patten and then in Asia. After his military service he completed his training and joined the Fracture Service at The Presbyterian Hospital with its eventual incorporation with The New York Orthopaedic Hospital and The College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University in New York City.
During his 50-year association with The Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Neer became a tenured Professor of the University, Director of the Fracture Service and Chief of the Adult Orthopaedic Service. He retired in 1990 as Emeritus Consultant in Orthopaedic Surgery and Emeritus Professor and Special Lecturer and returned to his hometown.
Within the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and The American Orthopaedic Association, Neer distinguished himself by being their representative to the Board of Directors of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. He served on the inaugural Committee for Shoulder and Elbow Surgery for the AAOS, developed the first dedicated Fellowship for Shoulder and Elbow Surgery in 1976, and carved out the first Shoulder and Elbow Clinic from the rest of the Orthopaedic and Rheumatological Services at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center.
Dr. Neer founded and became the first President of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons in 1982. He served as the Organizing Chairman of the IV International Congress on Surgery of the Shoulder in 1989 and was the Founding Chairman of the Board of Trustees of The Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery.
Dr. Neer’s many academic and surgical achievements include developing the standard for classification of proximal humerus fractures used globally. He developed the non-constrained proximal humerus and total shoulder arthroplasty systems. He altered the orthopaedic understanding of impingement syndrome and rotator cuff pathology beginning with his anterior acromioplasty article in 1972. He refined concepts in shoulder instability and dislocations with his approaches involving multidirectional instability and repetitive micro trauma. Dr. Neer authored widely cited articles in each major area of the shoulder-namely fractures and trauma, prosthetic replacements, impingement and rotator cuff tears and instability. The British Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery in 2010 searched the Orthopaedic literature from 1945 to 2008 for the top 100 quoted articles. Dr. Neer had 5 articles in the top 100 – more than anyone else, a remarkable achievement. His advancements are summarized in his signature book Shoulder Reconstruction.
Dr. Neer was an exemplary physician, surgeon and teacher to his peers and colleagues. His contributions to our field over his 50 year career continue to shape our discussions and likely will for many years to come. One of his great legacies is the large number of surgeons who traveled to Columbia from all over the country and the world to train under him, many of whom are leaders of our field today.
In 1985, Charles S. Neer, II, MD, created a fund to provide recognition for outstanding clinical investigation contributing to the understanding, care or prevention of injuries to the shoulder and elbow. Named after its benefactor, this prestigious award has been presented annually since the first Open Meeting of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons. In 1987, the award was expanded to include both clinical and research categories.
The top-graded papers are selected by the Program Committee from the numerous abstracts submitted each year. The chosen Neer Award manuscripts are then reviewed and graded by the Research Committee to determine the final winners. No one who has a manuscript under consideration may evaluate the papers.
The Charles S. Neer Award recipients receive an honorarium and a certificate during the annual Open Meeting/Specialty Day. Paper presentations take place at either the ASES Annual Meeting or the Open Meeting/Specialty Day depending on which meeting the paper has been accepted for presentation.
