Last month, we were delighted to announce the winners of the AFM Travel Grants for 2015. This month we are celebrating the hard work of our Faculty Members in recommending articles of merit by announcing the winners of our ‘Faculty Member of the Year’ awards and ‘Outstanding Faculty Member of the Year’ awards.

The winners of the ‘FM of the Year’ awards for 2015 were selected by our editorial team based on the quality and popularity of their recommendations. To those who have already received this award in a previous year, but continued to make an extraordinary contribution in 2015, we have awarded the Outstanding Faculty Member of the Year award – and this year we are delighted to announce five recipients.

Whilst both of these awards acknowledge the contributions of a select group of our Faculty, we would like to thank all of our Faculty Members for their hard work and support in 2015 in helping us evaluate the literature across biology and medicine. However, of course, a special Thank You goes to the following Faculty Members, so please join us in congratulating them on being the recipients of this year’s awards:
