Candidates must have submitted an abstract to one of the AFMR Regional Meetings: the Western Medical Research Conference, the Southern Regional Meeting, the Eastern Regional Meeting, and/or the Midwest Clinical & Translational Research Meeting.

The recipient will receive a Certificate of Excellence and a $1250 honorarium at the meeting.
