The best paper will be selected on the basis of originality of the work, rigor of the experimental methods, clarity of the presentation of the results, appropriateness of the conclusions, potential significance of the study, and overall quality of the presentation. The postgraduate (masters’ or doctoral degree candidate, resident, fellow, postdoctoral scholar) must be the first author. The major portion of the paper being judged must have been done while the applicant was a postgraduate. However, the candidate may have completed his or her program of study at the time of presentation of the award.

 

APhA publishes a call for contributed paper abstract submissions. Investigators whose abstracts are eligible for consideration for an award will be notified during the abstract review process.

 

A panel of three or more persons will be selected by each APhA-APRS Section to judge the submissions. At least one member of the panel shall be a section officer. At least one member shall have been on the section’s contributed papers abstract review committee. The judges may prescreen submitted abstracts but will make their final selection at the meeting after having heard or viewed the presentations. Each member of the selection committee will, therefore, be expected to attend the relevant sessions. Each Section may award up to two honorable mention recognitions, if deemed appropriate.

 

The award will be presented at the APhA Academy Awards Ceremony, if possible, or the Postgraduate Forum during the APhA Annual Meeting. Each recipient of the APhA-APRS Postgraduate Best Paper Award will receive a certificate and a $300 honorarium. The recipient of the APhA-APRS ESAS Postgraduate Best Paper Podium Award will receive a certificate and a $500 honorarium.
