AwArds 2013
New investigators in Prosthodontics are encouraged to apply for one of two 2013 Arthur R. Frechette Research Awards in Prosthodontics. Each Award recognises original research by new investigators and is sponsored by the Prosthodontics Group of the IADR and supported by the Whip Mix Corporation. One award is for Prosthodontic research undertaken with a Materials Science or Bioengineering oriented protocol and the other is for Prosthodontic research undertaken with a Biological Sciences and Tissue Engineering oriented protocol. Researchers carrying out original research are eligible for the Frechette Award if they have been the primary author of no more than three articles published in refereed dental journals. Each award carries a cash prize of $1,000. Research submitted for the IADR meeting in Seattle, Washington is eligible for consideration for the Frechette Award, provided it has not been published elsewhere or will not be under consideration for another award. Abstracts must be submitted to the Prosthodontics Group of the IADR by the IADR deadline (5 October 2012) with the appropriate boxes on the on-line submission checked. The abstracts will be judged for (1) originality and scientific design of the investigation, (2) suitability of the methods of analysis, and (3) scientific value of the work. Selected finalists will be judged at the 2013 IADR meeting in Seattle, Washington (20-23 March 2013) and the winner will be announced at the Prosthodontics Group Business Meeting.
