AADOCR Travel Award for New Clinical Investigators

To be eligible for a travel grant, applicants must be:

•  AADOCR members.
• New Investigators within 10 years of completing their last terminal degree (PhD, DDS, DMD, RDH, or equivalent) at the time of the submission deadline. 
   

The current NIH definition of clinical research is human subjects research that is:
1.    Patient-oriented research. Research conducted with human subjects (or on material of human origin, such as tissues, specimens, and cognitive phenomena) for which an investigator (or colleague) directly interacts with human subjects. Excluded from this definition are in vitro studies that use human tissues that cannot be linked to a living individual. This definition includes (a) mechanisms of human disease, (b) therapeutic interventions, (c) clinical trials, or (d) development of new technologies.
2.    Epidemiologic and behavioral studies.
3.    Outcomes research and health services research.

•    To apply you must select the AADOCR Travel Award for New Clinical Investigators when submitting your abstract for the AADOCR Annual Meeting & Exhibition.

•    Fill out the eligibility requirements.

•    Applicants MUST be members of the AADOCR at the time of abstract deadline.

•    Clinical Research must meet the NIH definition described above.

•    Applicants must also submit a separate and more detailed overview of their projects (2 pages, double-spaced).
 

All abstracts submitted for the AADOCR Annual Meeting are subject to peer review within the scientific groups of the IADR. Once the abstracts, which are submitted to apply for the travel award, have been accepted for presentation, they will be forwarded to a specially appointed awards review committee made up of AADOCR members, using the IADR/AADOCR Award, Fellowship, and Grant Recipient Selection Policy and Procedures.

The Committee’s decision will be made after the abstract deadline and approved by the Board of Directors. Winners will be notified before the Annual Meeting. If selected for the award, the paper must be presented at the meeting (no presenter substitutions allowed).
