APSR / KATRD Young Investigator Award

Prof. Fong

This award will be available for the best abstract from a Korean Academy of Tuberculosis & Respiratory Diseases (KATRD) member at each APSR Congress until 2028.

This award is generously provided by Prof. Kwun Fong for an APSR Young Investigator from the KATRD, who is presenting their original work at the APSR Congress.

The abstract is selected by the APSR, supported by the APSR Assemblies, which ranks the abstracts for their novelty, importance, methodology, clarity and overall quality. A consensus on the best abstract is then obtained through a rigorous judging system.

• US$500 (jointly funded by Prof. Kwun Fong and the APSR)
• 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.

• Must be a KATRD member with APSR membership
  
• Must be the First Author and able to present the abstract at the Congress
• Must be aged ≤40 at the start of 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 APSR 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.
• The Awardee is required to send a report (circa 500 words) of their experience at the Congress to the APSR Secretariat within one month after the Congress. The report may be published in the APSR Bulletin and/or Newsletter.
