Also, current biomedical research is more often carried out by teams rather than by scientists working alone, making it unlikely that any one scientist, or even a few, is primarily responsible for a discovery; this has meant that a prize nomination that would have to include more than three contributors is automatically excluded from consideration.
同时，当前的生物医学研究更多的是以团队进行而不是由个别科学家单独进行，使得不太可能是任何一个科学家，甚至一些科学家，是某一研究发现的主要贡献者；这也就意味着当一个奖项的提名可能有超过三名参与者时会被自动排除在外。
