Up to one (1) award will be granted to a person from an African country. The winner of the award will receive US $1,000 for expenses to attend the IADR General Session & Exhibition.

All abstracts submitted for the IADR General Session are subject to peer review within the scientific groups of the IADR. Abstracts submitted by PDWG applicants to the POHR will be reviewed and the provisional winner selected based on abstract score. The decision will be made after the abstract deadline, and winners will be notified before the General Session. If selected for the award, the paper must be presented at the meeting (no presenter substitutions allowed). The award cannot be deferred until a future meeting. The presenting author of the abstract judged to be of the highest scientific merit will be selected as the award winner. The committee may elect not to present an award if no eligible abstracts have been identified. The award is accompanied by a cash prize and a certificate.
