The Academy of Dental Materials (ADM) offers “Marshall Postdoctoral Award” in recognition of excellence in dental biomaterials research. The primary purpose of the award is to encourage and recognize outstanding research performed by individuals in the transitional post-doctoral stage of their careers.
This award was created in honor of Grayson and Sally Marshall, who have excelled in mentorship roles and have made great contributions to the ADM during their careers. Both have been Fellow members of the ADM since 1983 and are currently Emeritus members. They both served on the Board of Directors for many years. Sally served as Treasurer 1983-85, Vice President 1985-87 and President from 1987-89. She received the ADM Founder’s Award in 2010. Grayson designed the Academy “seal” and served as Executive Secretary from 1983-1985, Chair of Credentials and Awards Committee 1985-91, Secretary 1989-91, and President from 1991-93. He received the ADM Founder’s Award in 2009. Further information on their academic careers can be found on the flowing links:
