Two types of young investigator awards are available to help support travel of students, fellows and junior investigators (ie those at or below the level of Assistant Professor).

The ASBMR/Harold M. Frost Young Investigator Awards were established in collaboration with the ASBMR.  Six awards of $1500 each will be awarded based on competitive application and review by a committee. Those young investigators who are given an award will present their work from the podium during the Monday evening session.

The ASBMR staff administers the review process, which includes sending the nomination packets to the review panel, arranging the review panel conference call, and sending out the acceptance letters. The ASBMR President and Sun Valley director each select two members to serve on the nomination review panel. The review panel scores each nomination packet and sends their scores to ASBMR staff who in turn average the scores and rank the nominees. Nominees are notified by May 15 of the current year (thus, the nomination review process takes no more than six weeks).  This program is intended to stimulate young investigator participation by providing the opportunity for presentation of their results. 

The Alice L. Jee Young Investigator Awards provide up to 10 travel awards of $800 each.  Students, fellows and young investigators up to and including Assistant Professors applying for this award will not be required to present from the podium, but are required to present a poster at the Sun Valley Workshop.
