The Geriatric Oral Research Group offers the IADR Geriatric Oral Research Awards that aim to foster research in geriatric oral health among students and investigators. Applicants may be IADR members or non-members. Students and junior investigators may apply according to the following criteria. (1) The Jonathan Ship Award is reserved for dental or dental hygiene student candidates, or their equivalent, who have not graduated yet from their respective programs. (2) The IADR GORG Pre-doctoral Award is reserved for candidates with an oral health or related degree, including DHYG (or equivalent), DDS/DMD/BDS (or equivalent), MD (or equivalent), and include junior faculty members and academics. (2) The IADR GORG Post-doctoral Award is reserved for those in pursuit of, or already have, a research doctorate degree at a PhD (or equivalent) or post-doctoral levels, and may already have a DDS, BDS, MD, or DMD (or equivalent). Individuals who are university faculty members must be instructors or assistant professors (or equivalent mid-career faculty rank within 5 years of the first appointment). Previous winners cannot compete in the same category, but can compete in a different category if they are eligible. Applicants can only apply in one category at a time. Applicants must have conducted their own original research in geriatric oral health, and they must submit their research findings as an abstract for poster presentation at the IADR GORG Awards GORG session at the IADR meeting in the year of application. When completing the abstract form, applicants must indicate their student status; indicate their intent to compete for the IADR Geriatric Oral Research Awards - in poster format only; and request review by the Geriatric Oral Research Group as a potential candidate for the IADR GORG awards and contacted by the Chair of the Awards Committee after the closing date for submission of abstracts, for the upcoming General Session deadline, inviting them to submit additional documents.
