2022 Early Career Investigator Award

Presented at the 2022 ISBRA/ESBRA Joint Conference, September 17-20, 2022, Cracow, Poland

The Award includes a monetary award and memento, which will be presented at the 2022 ISBRA Early Career Investigator Award Symposium during the 2022 2 nd World Congress on Alcohol and Alcoholism (Joint Meeting of ISBRA and ESBRA) in Cracow Poland, September 17-20, 2022. In addition, award recipients will be acknowledged at the ISBRA/ESBRA Congress Closing Ceremony.

Historically, recipients of the ISBRA Early Career Investigator Award are required to attend the conference due to the in-person presentations. We hope that the COVID-19 pandemic will not remain an obstacle by then and finally we will be able to see each other in person.

Applicants must be an ISBRA member. If you are not currently an ISBRA member, your membership application must be received by the April 1, 2022 application cycle. Awards will be limited to early career investigators (either PhD or MD students or post-docs/physicians) (see application details below). All awardees will give a brief (15-20 minute) oral presentation at the ISBRA Early Career Investigator Award Symposium. Award recipients will be notified by June 15, 2022.
