  • The applicant must be the sole or senior author of the paper for which the award is made.
  • In the case of multiple authors, students must provide to Council a statement describing the contribution of other authors to the research.
  • Submitted applications will be short-listed by the Council for consideration for the award prior to the Annual Meeting.
  • A judging panel will be appointed by the Council to assess short-listed applicants for the award at the Annual Scientific Meeting.
