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 association’s three journals: Anatomical Sciences Education, Developmental Dynamics, and The Anatomical Record. Up to three awards are presented each year, with one award per journal.
This is recognition of an existing publication, rather than funding for a proposed research project. The award combines an honorarium with travel reimbursement and complimentary registration to support attendance at Anatomy Connected. Recipients also receive a plaque recognizing their achievement at the meeting’s Closing Awards Ceremony.
