New investigators in Prosthodontics are encouraged to apply for one of two 2007 Arthur R. Frechette Research Awards in Prosthodontics. Each Award recognizes 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 New Orleans, Louisiana 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 usual IADR deadline with the appropriate boxes on the on-line submission checked. The abstracts will be judged for (1) originality and scientiï¬c design of the investigation, (2) suitability of the methods of analysis, and (3) scientiï¬c value of the work. Selected ï¬nalists will be judged at the 2007 IADR meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana (March 21-24) and the winner will be announced at the Prosthodontics Group Business Meeting.
