Description
The American Association for Anatomy (AAA) recognizes the best publication by an early-career anatomist in each of its three journals: Anatomical Sciences Education, Developmental Dynamics, and The Anatomical Record. This is an award for work already published, not funding for a proposed project. AAA may present up to three awards each year, one for each journal.
Committee volunteers review the publications. Recipients are recognized at the 2027 Anatomy Connected Meeting, where they receive an award plaque at the Closing Awards Ceremony.
