Promising Scientist Award

Proudly sponsored by the International Society of Biomechanics

The Promising Scientist award is designed to acknowledge people who have performed superior biomechanics research early in their career. It entails a certificate and a monetary award of US$5000 for scientific purposes, such as visiting another research group to collaborate on a project. The competition is held each year in which there is an ISB-conference. The winner of the award is expected to give a 30 min. plenary presentation over the recent studies that have contributed to the award at the ISB-congress of the same year.

Requirements: To be eligible for the award, a candidate must be a member of the ISB and be post-doctoral but not more than 5 years. Each candidate must submit 1) his or her full curriculum vitae, 2) at least two first author full articles in peer reviewed scientific journals that he or she has written in a single area of Biomechanics, and 3) interpretative summaries describing the contribution to the field of each article.
