The Lederer-Pierce Award and Competition

The Chicago Laryngological and Otological Society encourages and fosters medical research and teaching. The annual Lederer-Pierce Award recognized clinical and basic science research by Otolaryngology residents and is a great testimonial to this commitment. Established in 1961 by Frances L. Lederer to honor the memory of his long time friend Norval H. Pierce, the award has stimulated a brisk congenial rivalry between the residents of the five medical school academic departments of otolaryngology.
