Frederic C. Bartter Award

Frederic C. Bartter Award

The Frederic C. Bartter Award is given to an ASBMR member in recognition of outstanding clinical investigation in disorders of bone and mineral metabolism. The award includes a $2,000 honorarium and a plaque which is presented at a morning plenary session at the Annual Meeting.

Frederic C. Bartter, M.D., was one of the finest scientists and clinical investigators in academic medicine. In conjunction with Dr. Fuller Albright he developed cortisone treatment for congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and with Dr. William Schwartz described the syndrome of inappropriate ADII secretion. In addition, Dr. Bartter elucidated the role of aldosterone and contributed significantly to the study of hyperparathyroidism. From 1951 to 1978 he served as Chief of the NIH Endocrine-Hypertension Branch, and then became Associate Chief of Staff for Research at the Veterans Administration Medical Center and Professor at the University of Texas.
