2023 Young Investigator Award - Open for applications October 1 - 15, 2022

Closed - No more applications are being accepted 

 

Alcoholism and Stress: A Framework for Future Treatment Strategies is an international meeting dedicated to developing preventive strategies and pharmacotherapeutic remedies for stress- and alcohol-related biomedical phenomena.  In large meetings, young investigators tend to be relegated to poster presentations.  To counter this trend, our intent is to promote the work of young investigators by creating a special symposium highlighting their outstanding achievement in the field of addiction medicine and stress disorders.  This is the first Young Investigator Award to be sponsored by NIH/NIAAA. 

 

A young investigator is defined as someone who has had their Ph.D. and/or M.D. no more than 8 years and is currently active in the alcohol research field.

The applications consist of an abstract to present at the meeting and a current CV.  These applications are reviewed by the conference organizers.  The main criteria for selecting awardees is: 1) scientific merit of the submitted abstract, 2) previous publication record, 3) current work in the alcohol research field, and 4) potential for development and contribution to alcohol and stress research.  Those judged to be of exceptional quality will be selected and allocated oral presentation time in a symposium. To be considered, please email the above information to: mroberto@scripps.edu with the Subject line: YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARD APPLICATION

 

Awardees will be notified and be invited to give a 15-min presentation during the Young Investigator Symposium on May 18, 2023.  Awardees also will receive a waiver of the meeting registration fee as well as an official certificate of merit from the meeting organizers.  Awardees will be notified by November 15, 2022.
