The ASHG Scientific Achievement Award was established in 2001 and is presented annually by the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) for outstanding scientific achievements in human genetics that have occurred in the last 10 years.
The award was formerly known as the Curt Stern Award, or the Stern Award, named in honor of Curt Stern (1902–1981), a pioneering human geneticist. It was renamed in 2023 along with several other ASHG awards in a new organizational policy that removed individual's names from awards in favor of descriptive names.
