The IADR Hatton Competition is designed to provide an opportunity for the best junior investigators from all IADR Divisions and Sections to present their research at the annual IADR General Session. Junior applicants must be currently enrolled in a B.D.S./D.D.S. (bachelor's and/or dental degree). This competition will be limited to those candidates who have carried out their research as part of undergraduate/professional training (research undertaken as an undergraduate science student, as a dental student, or at a time of pursuing an intercalated science degree while in training as a dental student). Senior applicants must be enrolled in a post-dental, post-graduate, or Ph.D. program or have performed the research submitted to the competition within three years of their earning the award of Ph.D. Entrants for this category would have carried out research as part of a higher degree, either a Masters, Ph.D., or M.D. with previous laboratory experience, or as part of specialty training, and post-doctorals. The Senior Category is divided into two sections: Clinical/Pre-clinical Research: Involving research on human subjects and/or epidemiologic studies; and Basic Science Research: Involving laboratory or animal research.
