The Asia Pacific Association of Medical Toxicology is pleased to offer travel grant awards every year. The travel scholarship awards are given to outstanding researchers who are currently conducting research in toxicology and are financial members of APAMT.
Non-financial members can find more details from here:
An honorary fellowship is a highly regarded award presented to an individual in recognition of a substantial contribution to toxicology at the international level, including having a significant role in APAMT over a period of > 5 years.
This award is open to all the presenters.
Young Investigator's Award
A Young Investigator’s Award will again be presented in 2024.
This award is designed to encourage young investigators to perform original research on a subject related to clinical toxicology or poison control, submit the research to the APAMT annual congress and come to the congress to present their research.
The winner will receive an honorarium of $750.
Those who fulfil the criteria can indicate interest for consideration when submitting their abstract(s).
Application criteria
Young investigators are defined as <40 years of age on the last day of the Congress (14th November 2024). This will be confirmed prior to the prize being awarded by passport check.
The young investigator must be the principal investigator of the research being presented. This means that they have taken the lead in performing the research and are the most appropriate person to present the research at the Congress. It is acceptable for the young investigator to have research collaborators over the age of 40, and these can be listed on the abstract. This might include a research supervisor.
The research submitted must be original and must not have been published or presented at another conference.
Applicants do not need to be members of the APAMT, but they must attend the Congress to present the research in person.
Previous winners are not eligible.
Judging the winner
A shortlist will be chosen by the Scientific Committee on the basis of the quality of the abstracts submitted.
Conflict of interest of Scientific and Meetings Committee members and abstract reviewers are taken into account during abstract scoring.
The process of the final awards is as follows -
Those on the final shortlist will be invited to make an oral presentation of their work at the Young Investigator session at the congress.
The quality of presentations will be judged by at least 3 senior judges who are invited to do this by the Scientific Committee.
The judges will have proven they have no relevant conflicts of interest.
The judges will score each presentation and at the end of the session will come to a consensus on which presentation should receive the award.
The decision of the judges is final.
