Description
The American Association for Anatomy (AAA) offers the Early Career Faculty Travel Award to support early-career faculty attending and presenting research at Anatomy Connected, its annual meeting. The award combines travel assistance with recognition of research presented through poster or platform presentations. The Committee for Early-Career Anatomists (CECA) reviews submitted abstracts and selects the five highest-scoring abstracts for awards.
Scientific and educational research are evaluated on the scientific process, from identifying a knowledge gap and testable objective through interpreting findings and explaining their significance. Research-focused, non-descriptive oral and poster presentations receive priority over descriptive works, although descriptive submissions are encouraged. Previously published work may qualify only when the abstract represents further progression of that research.
