The
purpose of the IAC Young Investigator Award is to recognize young
investigators with research in basic and/or clinical studies relevant to
aldosterone and mineralocorticoid receptor biology.
Eligibility for the IAC Young Investigator Competition and Awards is
confined to students and fellows with up to 5 years postdoctoral research experience,
exclusive of clinical training, at
the time the abstract is submitted. Previous finalists for the award may not
participate. Each applicant must be nominated by their research mentor,
limit one nominee per mentor.
Abstracts will be reviewed, judged and chosen by an international review
committee. Abstracts
will be judged on their scientific uniqueness, the quality of the hypothesis
being tested and adherence to the primary goal of the award. Four abstracts
will be chosen for the competition section of the scientific program and
will be printed in the program book.
Travel awards will be presented to each of the chosen young investigator
finalists. The first place winner will receive $1,000 USD. Each runner-up
will receive $500 USD. Each participant will be presented with an award
plaque. Each finalist will be responsible for securing their own hotel
