Dear AJVR readers,
We are committed to promoting our junior colleagues and providing them with the recognition they deserve. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that I announce the first ever AJVR Awards for the best papers published in AJVR with a student, intern, or resident author. These new awards support our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and provide an opportunity for our senior authors to publicly recognize the contributions of their students, interns, and residents. This strategic initiative is yet another way we can promote the mission of the AVMA while supporting the profession and our early career colleagues.
Winners will not only receive profession-wide recognition, they will also earn a Certificate of Achievement and win a cash prize. Winners will also benefit from great social media exposure!
Here are the details:
Anyone can nominate an author whose original research paper was submitted when they were a veterinary student, intern, or resident
A total of six $500 awards will be made (2 students, 2 interns, 2 residents)
Each award recipient will receive a waiver of Open Access fees for their next authored manuscript in AJVR
Deadlines for 2022 awards is June 30, 2022
Please send your nominations to AJVR@avma.org by June 30, 2022 by submitting the following information:
