It supports students, trainees, postdoctoral researchers, and junior faculty residing in low- and middle-income countries, with funding directed toward meeting attendance expenses.
The award is tied to an accepted abstract related to oral medicine and pathology, submitted in the OMP Scientific Research Group category. This category encourages epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory investigations of diseases affecting the oral cavity and adjacent tissues, including studies of normal structure that advance understanding of disease. Award reviewers prioritize scientific rigor, relevance, and potential impact. The 2027 General Session takes place in Melbourne, Australia, from June 23–26, 2027.
