An important goal of the Section on Tumors of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) since its founding in 1985 has been to foster both education and research in the field of brain tumor treatment. As one means of achieving this, the Section awards a number of prizes, research grants, and named lectures at the annual meetings of the AANS and CNS. After a brief examination of similar honors that were given in recognition of pioneering work by Knapp, Cushing, and other early brain tumor researchers, the authors describe the various awards given by the AANS/CNS Section on Tumors since its founding, their philanthropic donors, and the recipients of the awards. The subsequent career of the recipients is briefly examined, in terms of the rate of full publication of award-winning abstracts and achievement of grant funding by awardees.
自1985年成立以来，美国神经外科医生协会（AANS）和神经外科医生大会（CNS）肿瘤学分会的一个重要目标一直是促进脑肿瘤治疗领域的教育和研究。作为实现这一目标的一种方式，该分会在AANS和CNS的年会上颁发了多项奖项、研究补助金和命名讲座。在简要考察了为表彰克纳普、库欣及其他早期脑肿瘤研究人员的开创性工作而设立的类似荣誉之后，作者描述了AANS/CNS肿瘤学分会自成立以来颁发的各类奖项、其慈善捐赠者以及奖项获得者。随后，从获奖摘要的完整发表率和获奖者获得资助的情况方面，对获奖者的后续职业生涯进行了简要考察。
