Pediatric Research Best Paper Travel Award for Junior Authors – (2) Awards at $2,500 each (Printable Copy)
The International Pediatric Research Foundation invites nominations for a Best Paper Travel Award for papers in Pediatric Research. The award will support two young investigators’ participation in an upcoming annual PAS or ESPR meeting with a reimbursable amount of up to $2,500 for travel-related expenses for the meeting.

There are TWO pathways to nominate a Best Paper junior author.

    • Senior authors may nominate junior first authors and their papers published in PEDIATRIC RESEARCH during the past calendar year.

OR

  • Members of APS/SPR/ESPR may nominate the junior author on a particularly stellar article in PEDIATRIC RESEARCH that was published in the past calendar year. If you are a member of the organization(s) and would like to nominate a junior author, please contact the Editorial Office for specific information regarding the article at info@pedres.org.

A “junior author” is defined as an early career investigator with less than three years on faculty, including as an instructor or research associate

The two best nominations will be determined and a recommendation made to the IPRF council. Papers will be judged on the basis of (1) novelty, (2) expected impact, and (3) clarity of presentation. Decisions will be made by mid-April 2016, allowing the two winners to attend a PAS or ESPR meeting (the award is valid for two years).

For specific information about nomination requirements, please contact the Editorial Office at info@pedres.org.
