New Investigator
Recipients of the SRF New investigator award are selected from a short-list of eligible candidates on the basis of their abstract submission to the annual conference, their curriculum vitae and letters of support from senior colleagues. Eligible candidates will be SRF members or those whose applications are under consideration and will have completed ten years (or less) of post-doctoral research. SRF are currently interested in nominations for 2008 and 2009.
The recipient of this award is expected to present their paper in the SRF/SSR New Investigator session at the SRF annual conference and the subsequent year at the SRF/SSR Transatlantic Lecture at the SSR annual conference.
In the first instance, nominations for the above awards should be submitted
to the SRF programme Secretary via the SRF Business Office, Procon Conferences
Ltd., Tattersall House, East Parade, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, HG1 5LT,
UK or emailed to SRFSecretariat@procon-conferences.co.uk
Student
The society also offers an award for its postgraduate student members (SRF student prize). To be considered for the award, students must submit an abstract to be presented at the annual conference. Submitted abstracts are reviewed by an independent panel and a maximum of six abstracts are then short listed for the prize. The short listed students present their work in an oral session during the conference (SRF student prize session). The prize is awarded based on a combination of criteria which include content, presentation, delivery and discussion of the work. The award value of this prize is £250.
Students who qualify for this prize should tick the relevant box when submitting their abstract via the online Abstract Submission Form.
Closing date for abstracts is February 29th 2008.
Remember, all SRF student members who are presenting abstracts are entitled to apply for a bursary of up to £350 to cover the cost of attending the Edinburgh meeting.
Postdoctoral Scientist
SRF has introduced a new award for its postdoctoral members at the SRF 2008 meeting.
The “Postdoctoral scientist prize” is aimed for postdoctoral
scientists who are within four years of having obtained their PhD. To
be considered for the award, postdoctoral scientists must submit an abstract
to be presented at our annual conference. Submitted abstracts are reviewed
by an independent panel and a maximum of three abstracts are then short
listed for the prize. The short listed scientists present their work in
an oral session during the
conference (Postdoctoral scientist prize session). Each presentation is
given a total of 20 minutes during the session (15 minutes for presentation
of the research and 5 minutes for discussion). The prize is awarded based
on a combination of criteria which include content, presentation, delivery
and discussion of the work. The award value of this prize is £300.
Postdoctoral scientists who qualify for this prize should tick the relevant box when submitting their abstract via the online Abstract Submission Form.
Closing date for abstracts is February 29th 2008.
Remember, all SRF postdoctoral members who are presenting abstracts are
entitled to apply for a bursary of up to £350 to cover the cost
of attending the Edinburgh meeting.

The other new award is a “Poster Prize”. All posters will be considered for the Poster prize. The judging will be based on the posters not the submitted abstracts. The award value of this prize is £100.
Please note, all prizes will be paid by cheque in £
sterling.
