Abstract
The Kelly West Award for Outstanding Achievement in Epidemiology is presented in honor of the memory of Kelly M. West, widely regarded as the “father of diabetes epidemiology.” Harry Keen described West as characterized by “generosity of spirit, deeply human and humorous, deliberate of address, modest, conciliatory and untiringly persevering. Few people have done so much to change the landscape of diabetes” (1). The award and lecture recognize a leading epidemiologist in the field of diabetes. Dana Dabelea, MD, PhD, received this award at the American Diabetes Association’s 77th Scientific Sessions, 9–13 June 2017, in San Diego, CA. She presented the Kelly West Award Lecture, “Diabetes in Youth—Looking Backwards to Inform the Future,” on Sunday, 11 June 2017.
