The ASPET Division for Drug Metabolism Early Career Achievement Award has been established to recognize excellent original research by early career investigators in the area of drug metabolism and disposition.
The award is presented biennially in odd-numbered years. The award consists of $1,000, a plaque, and complimentary registration plus travel expenses (to a maximum of $1,000) for the winner to attend the award ceremony at the annual meeting. The awardee will deliver a lecture at the annual meeting describing their relevant research accomplishments. The awardee will be invited to publish a review article on the subject matter of the award lecture in Drug Metabolism and Disposition.
Nominees for this award must have a doctoral degree (e.g. Ph.D., M.D., Pharm.
