Abstract
A LASKER GROUP AWARD for 1947 has been presented by the American Public Health Association to the British Ministries of Food and Health "for the unprecedented programme of food distribution in Great Britain"during the War, "with resulting improvement in the health of the people". The Lasker Award, which takes the form of a statuette of the "Winged Victory of Samothrace", was provided through the generosity of the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation, and is made either to individuals for their achievement in the field of medical research and public health administration or to groups for outstanding work or research. This is the first occasion on which the award has been given outside the United States.
