The AAP Foundation Schoor Research Award will be awarded to full-time residents, as of the application deadline, in an accredited US periodontal program in any year of residency. Co-applications are acceptable only if equal contribution to the research project by each student is confirmed by the graduate program director and the number of co-applicants should be limited to two. The Schoor Award Committee distributes one award each year for a manuscript written by the resident as sole or principal author based on his or her research. The manuscript must be appropriate for submission to the Journal of Periodontology, but receipt of a Schoor Award is not contingent upon publication. Please visit the award's website or contact the American Academy of Periodontology Foundation for more information.
