Administered by the IADR Craniofacial Biology Research Group and sponsored by the group and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., the competition focuses on research pertinent to orthodontics and craniofacial biology.
Applicants are assessed through an abstract, supplemental project information, and research presentations at the IADR General Session. The group's executive officers and directors select up to five finalists based on clarity, scientific strength, relevance, and potential impact. Final judging emphasizes contributions to clinical and translational research, research design, and presentation quality. The competition requires at least three applicants to take place.
