The American Society for Bioethics and Humanities (ASBH) and the March of Dimes are pleased to announce the annual Young Scholar Award in Perinatal Bioethics.
Who is eligible? To be eligible for this award, applicants must be early in their career development, including those who are actively enrolled in graduate school, post-doctoral programs or no higher in their career achievement than the assistant professorship level.
Applicants should submit proposals in the 'Perinatal Ethics' topic category in the ASBH Call for Proposals. Proposals that would fall into the perinatal ethics topic category include but are not limited to topics such as pre-conception health, reproductive decision making, pregnancy, pre-natal genetic testing, labor and delivery, newborn screening, neonatal decision making and other topics related to the perinatal time frame. Proposals may address clinical decision making, research or other bioethical or humanities-related topics.
Deadline. Submit an abstract to the ASBH Call for Proposals on the ASBH Web site no later than March 3, 2010 at /meetings/annual/
From those submitted abstracts, a select group of applicants will then be asked to submit a full paper for review by the March of Dimes/ASBH review committee.
The Award. The award will be presented at the ASBH Annual Meeting in October to the applicant whose paper is selected to be of the highest quality and intellectual rigor among the submitted papers. The award winner will receive an honorarium of $1,000 and will present the paper at a plenary session at the ASBH Annual Meeting, which will feature an invited lecture by a distinguished scholar from the field of perinatal ethics.
