IADR IRG Young Investigator Prize for Student Research
Deadline: October 1, 2010
You and your students are invited to submit a research abstract for the 2011 IADR Implant Research Group Young Investigaotr Prize for Student Research. This competition and related awards, supported by a generous gift from Nobel Biocare, is sponsored and administered by the IADR Implantology Research Group.
Eligibility
The Competition is open to pre-doctoral (undergraduate: dental students) and post-doctoral (graduate: Masters of Science, Doctoral or PhD candidates) students currently enrolled in a dental or postgraduate program in dentistry and related disciplines or those who completed their training no more than 18 months prior to the 2011 General Session. Candidates MUST be an IADR IRG member.
Submission
In order to be considered for this Competition, you must submit an abstract to the Global Headquarters for the 2011 IADR General Session & Exhibition in San Diego, Calif., by the October 1, 2010 deadline, adhering to the usual submission procedures. In the awards section of the on-line abstract submission process select "Implantology Research Group Young Investigator Prize for Student Research."
Review
The IRG Awards Committee will coordinate review of the abstracts. Each abstract will be evaluated on its scientific merits by the IRG Awards Committee. During this process, each reviewer will give a numerical rating to each abstract, and the scores of all reviewers will then be averaged to give an overall priority score. Following the review of the abstracts, six finalists will be selected (three from basic science research and three for clinical science research) to present their research to a panel of judges at the Annual IADR meeting. Two prizes will be awarded, one in basic science research and one in clinical science research both for $ 500. The awards are based on the abstract (50%) and oral presentation (50%).
