IUPHAR Young Investigator

The purpose of the IUPHAR Young Investigator Awards is to encourage and recognize excellence in early career pharmacologists.

Eligibility:
The awards are open to pharmacologists who are no more than 10 years from receipt of their highest terminal degree (i.e. Ph.D, M.D). The young investigator must be first author on the submitted abstract.

How to apply:
Candidates who wish to compete for this award should indicate in the appropriate place on the electronic abstract form that they wish their abstract to be considered for an IUPHAR Young Investigator Award.

Finalists:
Ten candidates will be selected by members of the IUPHAR Executive Committee (Contribution Judges). Those chosen will be invited to present their work in a 10-minute oral presentation (plus 5 minutes for questions) in a dedicated symposium at the World Congress (scheduling to be listed in the final program). After the symposium, judges (selected by members of the Executive Committee: Presentation Judges) will select the three recipients of the awards, based on the candidates' ability to present their experimental findings and defend their conclusions to an international audience.

Awards:
Gold Award - $1000 USD
Silver Award - $ 500 USD
Bronze Award - $ 250 USD
The awards will be presented at the closing ceremony and featured in the post-congress issue of the IUPHAR newsletter, Pharmacology International.
