The conference organizers encourage submission of abstracts and participation by young scientists from the United States and throughout the world who are considering a career relevant to applied or translational cardiovascular research. Young Investigator Awards will be presented to authors of these outstanding research submissions.
To qualify for the Young Investigator Award, the presenting author must be responsible for the scientific content of the abstract and be in a “training” program (postdoctoral fellow, resident, graduate student or medical student). The abstracts of all Young Investigator Award applicants will be blindly reviewed and ranked by a subcommittee of the conference Program Committee. The authors of the top ranked abstracts will receive the awards.
The abstracts of Young Investigators will be identified as award winners in the meeting program. Each Young Investigator will receive a monetary award plus recognition at the Friday evening social event at the Kennedy Library.
