Young Investigator Awards will be presented to clinicians and researchers younger than 40 years of age (as at 28 Feb 2010) for recognition of their outstanding original research. Short-listed candidates will be required to provide proof of age, e.g. passport copy.

A number of travel grants will be awarded to delegates who have submitted abstracts of outstanding quality and have requested sponsorship to attend the Congress. Supporting documents, including reference letters from the head of department or division, can be faxed or emailed to the Congress Secretariat quoting the abstract number and the name of the applicant. Delegates who have already received sponsorship from other organizations and/or commercial companies to attend the Congress are not eligible for application for the travel grant. Travel grant awardees will have to pay the Congress registration fee and the grant will be granted during the Congress.

For application, please specify on your online abstract submission form.
