Young Investigator Awards sponsored by IBMS |
| The International Society of Bone Morphometry (ISBM) is pleased to announce that it will award 5 Young Investigator Awards, sponsored by the International Bone and Mineral Society (IBMS). |
| The Congress will take place from September 19-22, 2006 at the Sheraton Philadelphia City Center Hotel, close to the Convention Center and immediately following the end of the ASBMR annual meeting. |
| These awards ($400 each) will be given to the 5 highest ranked abstracts submitted by young investigators who are under 40 years of age and members of IBMS. Abstract ranking will be based on the score given to each abstract by the Scientific Review Committee. |
| Membership of the International Bone and Mineral Society will be confirmed before awards are made and non-members who wish to apply for an award can join IBMS at www.ibmsonline.org |
| Plenary Sessions include: |
| 1. |
Bone Quality: What are we assessing/measuring with current techniques and what does the future hold? |
| 2. |
Morphometry in preclinical models of bone diseases |
| 3. |
Renal osteodystrophy and low bone turnover in other systemic diseases |
| 4. |
Bone morphometry in orthopaedics |
5. |
Molecular imaging: Linking morphometry and cellular function |
| 6. |
Skeletal fragility and turnover: Matrix, mineralization and cells |
|
| Abstracts must be submitted through the ISBM web site by June 30th at www.bonemorphometry.org. |

Young Investigator Awards sponsored by ASBMR |
The International Society of Bone Morphometry (ISBM) is pleased to announce that it will award 6 Young Investigator Awards, sponsored by the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR). |
| The Congress will take place from September 19-22, 2006 at the Sheraton Philadelphia City Center Hotel, close to the Convention Center and immediately following the end of the ASBMR annual meeting. |
| These awards ($1,000 each) will be given to the 6 highest ranked abstracts submitted by young investigators who are recognized for their excellence in bone morphometry research. Nominations are not accepted. To select the award winners, ISBM identifies the eligible investigators whose abstracts attained the highest ranked positions within their respective categories, using the abstract reviewers' "blind-review system" of scoring abstracts. Initial award designations are preliminary, and are finalized contingent upon validation of eligibility criteria and presentation of the abstract by the young investigator at the annual meeting. |
| Award Recipients must: |
| 1. |
be the first AND presenting author of the abstract |
| 2. |
be within five years of completion of a Ph.D. or of clinical training for M.D., D.D.S., or equivalent |
| 3. |
have never before been a recipient of an ISBM Award |
|
| The five years of eligibility are defined to extend from the end of the calendar year of the date of graduation or, if applicable, of completion of residency training or clinical subspecialty fellowship training, to the submission deadline date. |
| Clinical subspecialty fellowship training is considered to end no later than the point at which the individual becomes board eligible. |
| The above eligibility criteria include students or trainees who have not yet obtained their doctoral degree |
| Individuals with special circumstances, e.g., for whom postdoctoral research did not commence within one year of graduation or, if applicable, of completion of clinical training, may petition the ISBM to consider an extension of the term of eligibility defined above. However, petitions to the ISBM regarding award eligibility must occur prior to the submission of the abstract (prior to June 30, 2006 ). |
Abstracts must be submitted through the ISBM web site by June 30th at www.bonemorphometry.org. |
| Plenary Sessions include: |
