Description
The Stephen Bayne Mid-Career Award, administered through IADR’s Dental Materials Group (DMG), recognizes members who have made significant contributions to the science and application of dental materials research by mid-career. It acknowledges prior accomplishments while considering how those achievements may develop into future research, with the aim of attracting and retaining younger investigators in the field.
The award supports the DMG’s goal of maintaining and invigorating a pipeline of researchers working in traditional dental materials and materials-centered studies applied to the oral/facial complex. Its outreach emphasizes diverse, high-quality research perspectives and initiatives, including researchers from any institution and across all IADR geographic regions.
