The Emily M. Gray Award is given for significant contributions to education in Biophysics, contributions that may include a distinguished record of excellence in classroom instruction, in mentoring research scientists at any level, in developing novel educational methods or materials, in promoting scientific outreach efforts to the public or to youth, in generating a track record of attracting new students to the field of  Biophysics, or in otherwise fostering an environment exceptionally conducive to education in Biophysics. The Biophysical Society made special note of Doug's leadership of the Summer Academic Research Experience (SARE). This novel pipeline program, provides summer internship experiences in research laboratories at Johns Hopkins for Baltimore City high school students from disadvantaged backgrounds and who are from groups underrepresented in medicine and biomedical science.
