Background/Purpose
This annual award is offered by the Canadian Association of Pathologists-Association canadienne des pathologistes (CAP-ACP) to recognize meritorious experimental or non-experimental research carried out by an early career investigator in the field of Pathology. The award has two categories: “clinical” and “basic science”. Up to one award in each category will be awarded each year.

Clinical: recognizes primarily clinically oriented research that has the potential of significantly improving pathological diagnosis and/or patient management. Health utilization and QA research are acceptable for this category
Basic science: recognizes primarily basic research-oriented work aiming to enhance our understanding of disease mechanisms or explore innovative treatment etc.

Award
The successful applicant(s) will be invited to present a compelling talk, on their research, in a 30-minute presentation as part of the Scientific Program (during the annual meeting or during the year as an online activity). The CAP-ACP will defray the expenses of the successful applicant. (According to CAP-ACP guidelines.)
