Description
The Scientist-In-Training Research Award is presented by the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) to recognize a pre-doctoral candidate whose abstract is the most outstanding submitted for the AGS Annual Scientific Meeting. Candidates may work in psychology, gerontology, epidemiology, and related fields, reflecting the range of disciplines involved in research concerning older adults.
The award centers on recognition of an outstanding scientific contribution, rather than support for a defined research project. It forms part of AGS’s annual recognition of researchers, clinicians, educators, and emerging health professionals who contribute to high-quality, person-centered care for older adults.
