Awards

Abstracts-Related Awards

Only first/presenting authors will be considered for the following awards. Although nominations are not accepted for the following awards, abstract submitters should indicate their eligibility on the abstract submission form.

ASBMR Young Investigator Awards
These awards recognize young investigators who submit top-ranking abstracts to the ASBMR Annual Meeting. Award recipients will receive a $1,000 honorarium and a plaque. The ASBMR expects that $500 of the honorarium will be used to help offset travel expenses to the ASBMR Annual Meeting. The other $500 may be used by the recipient at his/her discretion. Eligible applicants must:

• Be the first and presenting author of the abstract
• Be a student/trainee or within five years of completion of a Ph.D., M.D., residency training or equivalent*
• NOT be a past recipient of an ASBMR Young Investigator Award

*The five years of eligibility are defined to extend from the end of the calendar year of the date of graduation or, if applicable, of completion of residency training or clinical subspecialty fellowship training, to the submission deadline date. Clinical subspecialty fellowship training is considered to end no later than the point at which the individual becomes board eligible. To petition for an extension of eligibility, please contact the ASBMR prior to the abstract submission deadline, April 14, 2009.

Continuing Medical Education (CME)

The deadline to submit your CME credit application for the ASBMR 30th Annual Meeting has passed. Please continue to check back for information for the ASBMR 31st Annual Meeting, September 11-15, 2009, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado, USA.

ASBMR Embargo Policy

Abstracts submitted to the ASBMR 30th Annual Meeting are embargoed — that is, unavailable for public release in written, oral and electronic communications — until one hour after the abstract has been presented.

The ASBMR is sensitive to issues of commercial confidentiality and relevant aspects of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. Therefore, the ASBMR reminds all readers that all must adhere to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and treat all scientific information as confidential until the embargo has been lifted – one hour after the abstract has been presented. Any reader of, or listener to, ASBMR Annual Meeting content may be viewed as an “insider” by the SEC due to knowledge of information included in abstracts, particularly clinical trial abstracts. SEC regulations may call for criminal penalties for using such information.
