This issue of Hypertension contains selected manuscripts from the 59th Annual Fall Conference and Scientific Sessions of the Council for High Blood Pressure Research in association with the Council on the Kidney in Cardiovascular Disease. There were 94 submitted manuscripts, and 21 (22%) were accepted. The timeline for submission of the current issue was extended owing to Hurricane Katrina and the devastating impact it had on a number of our major contributing institutions. Of the manuscripts included in this issue, 3 are from the special honored lectures of the Council for High Blood Pressure Research, namely, the 2 Novartis awardees, Kenneth E. Bernstein, MD, and Barry M. Brenner, MD (Figure 1), and Corcoran Lecturer, Carlos M. Ferrario, MD (Figure 2).

The Novartis Award was presented to Barry M. Brenner for pioneering the concept that inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system provides renal protection. Kenneth E. Bernstein received the Novartis Award for seminal discoveries on the renin-angiotensin system that have had a profound impact on the field of hypertension.

The Irvine Page-Alva Bradley Lifetime Achievement Award, sponsored by Monarch Pharmaceuticals, was presented to Alberto Nasjletti, MD for lifetime achievements in the field of hypertension (Figure 3).
