Abstracts submitted with a trainee as first author are rank ordered, using the abstract review scores. The trainees with the top 150 scored abstracts are offered $1000 awards to partially defray the costs of attending the meeting. When actual expenses are less than $1000, and the accumulated remaining funds exceed $1000, additional awards are presented.

Eligible trainees include medical and graduate students, residents, and post-doctoral fellows within 2 years of completing their Ph.D. or residency. See Instructions to Trainees and Sponsors for more information.
