Offered annually since 2018, the New Investigator Presentation Award is for contributed talks given by New Investigators. Entries will be judged on the quality of both the presentation and the underlying research. There will be one award winner and two runners-up. The award winner will receive a certificate and a \$500 cash prize. The runners-up will receive a certificate and a \$250 cash prize.
To be eligible for the award the presenter must be within 5 years of beginning their first academic appointment (i.e., postdoctoral fellow or assistant professor), and within 10 years of completing their PhD program. Presentations based on joint work with a collaborator who does not fit the definition of a New Investigator are eligible, as long as the New Investigator presents the work. See the New Investigator Committee page for more information.
