Ernest Amory Codman Award

How to Write  a Codman Award Application

 See the Sample Application (Requires Adobe Reader)

This sample application illustrates a well-developed and well-written submission for the Codman Award.  It tells the initiative's story from beginning to end which is what the narrative is all about. 

Graphs, tables and appendices referred to in the narrative of this submission are omitted and not addressed in this sample. However, graphs, tables and appendices are important supporting documents to the narrative in a Codman Award application.

Without the sidebar comments this application is 8 pages long and meets the application narrative page length requirement of no more than 10 pages, excluding the title page, abstract page, charts, tables and graphs in the appendix.

Codman applications are considered confidential therefore approval from the organization to use their Codman submission as a sample document was granted.

Finally, keep in mind that this is a sample and not the definitive way of how an application should be written.  What's important to note is that this organization answered the questions in concise factual statements and the statements were supported with appropriate quantitative information.
