This Award for junior/trainee DentoMaxilloFacial
radiologists
was initiated at the 13th ICDMFR. It will be awarded at all future congresses
of the IADMFR, subject to suitable applications being received. The purpose
of this award is to encourage research in maxillofacial imaging and to stimulate
interest in the IADMFR.
Criteria
Original research limited to any aspect of maxillofacial
imaging will be considered. It will be judged on:
1. Originality and design of the investigation;
2. Quality of the data produced;
3. Suitability of the methods of analysis used;
4. Scientific value of the work;
5. Quality of the presentation;
6. Demonstrated mastery of the subject.
The applicants must state that he / she is prepared to deliver
a paper at the next Scientific Meeting should he/she reach the finals of the
competition.
Eligibility
The applicant must be a member of the IADMFR and:
1. A postgraduate student in a recognized
maxillofacial radiology program or related discipline, such as medical physics,
radiation biology, imaging sciences, or engineering.
2. A junior faculty in one of the above programs within 5 years of graduating.
3. A dental student or postgraduate student in another discipline performing
research in maxillofacial imaging under the guidance of a dentomaxillofacial
radiologist.
The candidate must be nominated for the award by his/her
program director (or the dean). More than one student can be proposed from the
same school if the program director / dean deems them eligible. The program
director or dean must attest to the status of the contestant.
Award
All the finalists will be required to present their papers
on the research (oral presentation) at the following Congress of the IADMFR.
The first prize will be
USD 7,500
The second prize will be USD 2,500
Candidates who do not present their papers at the meeting are automatically
excluded from the competition.
The winners will be announced at the General Assembly where they will be presented
with a check and a certificate.
All finalists will receive a certificate at the General Assembly.
If there is no deserving research paper submitted no award will be given.
Extended Abstract
A request for an extended abstract to be submitted with the application.
An extended abstract (details below) is significantly longer than the standard
abstract that the applicant should submit to the Congress itself. While
preparing two different abstracts makes more work for the applicant, the
extended abstract gives the Awards Committee more information to help them
determine the finalists for the Research Award.
Details of the extended abstract:
~ 2000-3000 words, structured as follows: Title, Authors, Objectives (a
clear statement of the research aims, <100 words); Methods (a complete
description of research providing detailed information on materials and methods,
1000-1500 words); Results (a list of the objective results without subjective
interpretation, 100-500 words); Discussion (an explanation and interpretation of
the results found, including links to other scientific work already published,
500-1000 words); Conclusion (a clear statement of the impact of the research,
<100 words); References, Figures, and Tables.
Publication
All the finalists must submit manuscripts on their research
to DentoMaxilloFacial Radiology (the Journal of the IADMFR) at least 1 month
before the Congress. The manuscript will be peer reviewed in the same way, as
other manuscripts submitted to the journal.
Deadline
The deadline for submitting the research paper abstract for
that meeting, is normally the same as the deadline for submitting all abstracts.
Thus, the applicants are to submit their application to two separate places.
Selection committee
The selection committee will consist of the Editor of the Journal (chairman)
plus one representative from each Europe, the Americas, Asia and one from the
rest of the world combined; making a total of 5. The Editor of the Journal is
the chairman of the selection committee.
The selection committee must be appointed at the IADMFR Board
of directors Meeting for the following meeting. The judges are expected to research
the manuscripts sent to them and be at the meeting to do the final judging.
The Selection Committee will determine the finalists. The
finalists must be informed 3 months prior to the meeting. Should one of the
finalists inform the selection committee that he/she will not be present at
the meeting, another application may be chosen if suitable.
Applications
Please supply an electronic Word file
document of the extended abstract to Professor Sharon Brooks at slbrooks@umich.edu
by January 15, 2011. Applications received after the deadline will only be accepted at the
discretion of the Selection Committee.
Scientific session for finalists
There will be a session at the beginning of the Scientific
Meeting where the finalist’s papers will be presented and judged.
Coauthors
Coauthors are acceptable but competitors must include a covering
letter explaining the contribution of each of the authors. Part of the role
of the judges will be to decide if the contribution is sufficient to allow them
to entry to the competition. Only the first author will be awarded the prize.
A list of previous winners will be kept and published in
the Newsletter of the IADMFR.
