Reception and Announcement of Awards
(East Room, 8th Floor, Colloton Pavilion) |
This year we have received a generous unrestricted educational grant from Pfizer to underwrite the expenses for research day. Two travel awards will be given for the best abstracts by a trainee (pre- or post-doctoral). In addition, two travel awards will be given for outstanding work by junior faculty (including research scientists) and one travel award to a research assistant. Criteria will include clarity, novelty, and statistical appropriateness.
We look forward to an exciting exchange of ideas and information related to the research.
