Description
The Outstanding Junior Research Manuscript Award, administered by the American Geriatrics Society (AGS), honors an outstanding peer-reviewed geriatrics research journal article authored by a junior clinician-educator. It recognizes investigators in the developmental stages of their careers and the contribution represented by completed, published research, rather than supporting a proposed research project.
The award emphasizes both the quality of the manuscript and its relevance beyond publication. Assessment considers the originality of the research, the rigor of its methods, the clarity with which it is communicated, and its potential to influence geriatrics practice, policy, or future research.
