North American Vascular Biology Organization

The North American Vascular Biology Organization (NAVBO) is a scientific society promoting knowledge exchange in the area of vascular biology.[1] NAVBO organises several international scientific meetings annually which broadly cover the areas of development of blood and lymphatic vasculature, cardiovascular and lymphatic disease, vascular matrix biology and vascular bioengineering.[2]

History

The North American Vascular Biology Organization was founded in 1994 as a non-profit scientific organization with voluntary membership.[3][4]

Membership

NAVBO is open to those with an interest in the subject of vascular biology who wish to engage with members to promote the study and dissemination of scientific information relevant to vascular biology, and who meets the criteria established by the Council, which is elected by the Membership.[2]

Awards and honours

The society administers offers travel awards to trainee members and three annual awards to independent vascular biology investigators, the Springer Junior Investigator Award[5] for a junior researcher who will outstanding work for presentation at a NAVBO meeting that year,[6] the Judah Folkman Award[7] in Vascular Biology for a mid-career researcher who has made significant contributions to vascular biology research,[8] and the Earl P. Benditt Award[9] for an established researcher who has contributed seminal work to vascular biology research.[10]
