# E. Mead Johnson Award

The E. Mead Johnson Award, given by the Society for Pediatric Research, was established in 1939 to honor clinical and laboratory research achievements in pediatrics. The awards are funded by Mead Johnson Nutritionals, a subsidiary of Reckitt Benckiser and are named after Edward Mead Johnson, a co-founder of the originating company Johnson & Johnson. Two researchers sometimes share a prize.
