Named for the late John M. Eisenberg, MD, MBA, the award celebrates research in general medicine, and acknowledges a senior member whose research has influenced patient care, research methodology, or education. Keating receives this award due to her record of innovative research, mentorship, and leading influence in the field of general medicine.

Dr. Keating’s research seeks to understand and identify opportunities to deliver high quality/high value health care, informing policies to inform access to and affordability of care and models for payment and care delivery.

Keating is recognized for her collaborative research, and rigorous statistical methods influencing policy and clinical practice. Keating’s research continues to make substantial contribution to general medicine and oncology, in addition to health care systems and policy.
