Description
The American Association for Anatomy (AAA) offers this award through its Student/Postdoc Competition Awards at Anatomy Connected, the association’s annual meeting. It recognizes the quality of scientific and educational research presented by graduate students and medical, dental, or veterinary students, with evaluation emphasizing the scientific process.
Research-focused, non-descriptive presentations receive priority, although descriptive submissions are encouraged. Abstracts undergo blind review and scoring to select up to 12 poster finalists per academic level. Finalists present their research for judging at the meeting, with each presentation limited to five minutes and judging times arranged individually. Awards combine recognition with an honorarium and meeting-expense support.
