Dr. Jacobs is the recipient of the 2021 James B. Herrick Award for Outstanding Achievement in Clinical Cardiology from the AHA’s Council on Clinical Cardiology.

As a Specialty Society Governor, he will serve a three-year term as a liaison between the Fellows of the College and the members of the Board of Governors.
Faculty Action

BUMC has implemented a new policy requiring all Medical Campus faculty to obtain an ORCID iD. ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a free registry of unique researcher identifiers that is increasingly used by scholars, funding agencies and scientific journals to identify researchers. The ORCID record includes professional affiliations, funding, publications, honors and awards, service (peer reviews, advisory committees, etc.), and other accomplishments. An ORCID iD is already required for PIs on individual NIH fellowships and career development applications, and by certain manuscript and proposal submission systems.

If you already have an ORCID that has been reported to BU, it will show on your BU Profile. If you have an ORCID but have not reported it to BU, or need to create a new ORCID, you can do that here.

Should you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact Hee-Young Park (hypark@bu.edu) for assistance. If you need technical help, please contact bumchelp@bu.edu.
