To be considered, you must indicate your interest in applying for this award during the regular abstract submission period (October 10 -December 7, 2018). Abstracts must conform to the published abstract rules and procedures and be received by the deadline for abstract First Authors to be considered for this award.

The award is open to fellows currently in a training program or no more than one year out of fellowship training. The research for the eligible abstract must have been substantially completed during the fellowship period and must involve intact human subjects. Fellows who are selected as Young Investigator Award (YIA) finalists and the Fellow with the Highest Scoring Abstract Award will not be eligible to receive this award.

Award Process

In January, after abstracts have gone through the peer-review process, the submitting authors of the top five highest scoring abstracts will be sent an award application to complete, as along with an eligibility form to be signed by their training directors. Once the awards review process has been completed and all authors have been notified in February of the status of their abstracts, the winner of the award will be announced.

Frequency: One award; given annually

Award

This award includes complimentary registration to the current year's Scientific Sessions, a plaque, and $1,500 for the Presenting Author's travel and housing expenses.
