Summary: Travel support for young basic and clinical scientists to present bone and mineral metabolism research at the AIMM-ASBMR Meeting.
Key Information: Applicants must be current ASBMR members and meet terminal-degree, faculty-service, and combined research-experience limits.
The ASBMR John Haddad Young Investigator Awards support the professional development of young basic and clinical scientists working in bone and mineral metabolism. Offered by the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research in collaboration with Advances in Mineral Metabolism (AIMM), the awards provide financial support to attend the AIMM-ASBMR Meeting, present research, and interact with senior investigators and leaders in the field.
The program honors John G. Haddad, Jr., a pioneer in vitamin D metabolism research and a past ASBMR president. Its meeting format encourages dynamic, creative, and collaborative scientific exchange in a supportive, retreat-like atmosphere. Questions and comments are integral to research presentations, helping early-career investigators engage directly with established researchers and advance their careers.
