Медаль Джесси Стивенсон-Коваленко

Медаль Джесси Стивенсон-Коваленко (англ. Jessie Stevenson Kovalenko Medal) — награда для учёных, внёсших значительный вклад в медицинские науки, присуждаемая Национальной академией наук США.

Выплата награды осуществляется из целевых средств (Kovalenko Gift) Фонда Джесси Стивенсон — Коваленко (Jessie Stevenson Kovalenko Fund), созданного в память своей супруги Джесси Стивенсон ушедшим на пенсию 60-летним бывшим профессором математики и астрономии Принстонского университета США Майклом С. (Михаилом Степановичем) Коваленко. Предложение учредить награду было направлено им академии в 1948-49г.

Впервые вручена в 1952 г.
