The objective of the AGA-Moti L. and Kamla Rustgi International Travel Awards is to stimulate interest in gastroenterology and hepatology research careers among young investigators outside of North American institutions by providing recognition for exceptional abstracts accepted by AGA for presentation at DDW. Applicants must hold an MD and/or PhD degree or equivalent degree. Applicants must be fluent in English. Applicants residing in North America are ineligible for this award. Applicants must be the first author of an abstract or the designated speaker of an oral presentation accepted by AGA for presentation at DDW. Applicants who are physician-scientists, female or from racial/ethnic groups underrepresented in biomedical research are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants may only submit one abstract for consideration. Applicants must submit a resume, curriculum vitae or NIH biographical sketch with their application. Each applicant must be sponsored by an AGA member outside of North America who is in good standing at the time of application submission. Please visit the award's website for more information.
