Description
The American Association for Anatomy (AAA) recognizes outstanding published work by early-career anatomists through this annual publication award. It honors the best publication in each of the society’s three journals: Anatomical Sciences Education, Developmental Dynamics, and The Anatomical Record. The award recognizes a completed publication rather than funding a proposed research project, with up to three awards presented each year—one per journal.
The program is for students, postdoctoral researchers, and untenured assistant professors with qualifying authorship. Committee volunteers review the publications. Alongside an honorarium, recipients receive travel support and complimentary registration for Anatomy Connected, AAA’s annual meeting. An award plaque is presented during the Closing Awards Ceremony.
