The Schoor Research Award is an annual award from the American Academy of Periodontology Foundation recognizing a resident-written manuscript. It supports a wide range of research subjects significant to the clinical practice of periodontology. Residents in any year of an accredited U.S. periodontal program may apply, provided they meet the full-time residency requirement.
Founded in 2015, the award honors Robert S. Schoor, DDS, a champion of periodontal education and students. Its focus is recognition of the resident’s written research. The manuscript must be appropriate for submission to the Journal of Periodontology, although receiving the award does not depend on publication.
