The European Advisory Board on Cat Diseases (ABCD) invites applications for the 2016 ABCD & Merial Young Scientist Clinical and Research Awards (AMYSA), which aim to reward innovative and outstanding work by promising young professionals in the field of feline infectious diseases and/or immunology. Two awards will be presented, one for research, the other for basic clinical investigation. The jury - exclusively made up of ABCD members including the Chair – will decide to which category a submission should be assigned.
Candidates should have made an original contribution to the field of feline infectious diseases and/or immunology, which has been published or accepted for publication in a referenced journal (PubMed, Web of Science, Web of Knowledge), or accepted by another assessing body (e.g. a Thesis Committee) in 2014 or later.
Candidates should be based in Europe (EU or EFTA country), have completed a veterinary or biomedical curriculum, and be under 35 years of age at the time of application.
Applications should be made in English in an electronic format and include a short abstract (max. 500 words) of the work the applicant wishes to submit, as well as a short curriculum vitae and two personal references. Any relevant publications and/or dissertation on the topic should be included. The deadline for submission is 1 February 2016.
The awards (1000€ each) are funded by Merial and will be presented by the ABCD at the congress of the International Society of Feline Medicine, to be held from 29 June to 3 July 2016 in Malta. The award winners will receive a complimentary registration to this congress. Return travel expenses and accommodation will also be covered to allow the laureates to attend the event. The winners are expected to give a short presentation or present a poster of their findings at this event.
The recipients of the Clinical and Research AMYSA 2015 were Pawe? B?czkowski (University of Glasgow, UK) and Emily Porter (Bristol University, UK).
