Description
The American Association for Anatomy (AAA) administers the Postdoctoral Poster Presentation Award as part of its Student/Postdoc Competition Awards at Anatomy Connected. The award recognizes research presented by postdoctoral fellows and medical residents or interns within five years of their PhD or MD. It combines recognition with an honorarium and meeting-expense support, distinct from AAA’s separate travel award.
Research-focused, non-descriptive presentations receive priority, although descriptive submissions are encouraged and evaluated using the scientific process. Selection considers the research abstract and poster presentation. Abstracts are reviewed blindly to identify finalists, who present their posters for judging at the meeting. The assessment emphasizes a clear knowledge gap, a testable objective, organized methods, results tied to the study purpose, and conclusions supported by the findings.
