APSR Young Investigator Travel Award

This Award is offered to the authors of outstanding abstracts presented at each APSR Congress.

Abstracts are selected by the APSR, supported by the APSR assemblies, who rank abstracts for their novelty, importance, methodology, clarity and overall quality. A consensus on the best abstracts are then obtained through a rigorous judging system.

The Award:

  • US$500
  • A commemorative certificate
  • Invitation to the Gala Dinner (or similar social event) for the award ceremony
    (Note: This item might be changed due to the situation of COVID-19)
  • The awardee may also be introduced on the APSR website, Bulletin and social media.

The Awardee:

  • Must be aged ≤40 at the start of the Congress
  • Must be the First Author and able to present the abstract at the Congress
  • Cannot be a winner of any other award for the same abstract nor have other travel support
  • Must register for the Congress before their individual "cut-off date".
    The cut-off date will be provided by the Congress Secretariat after their abstract has been accepted. This date will be earlier than the usual registration deadline, to enable the programme schedule to be compiled and awards to be considered.
