ASCPT Young Investigator Award
The Young Investigator Award is intended to support a fellow or junior faculty member in clinical pharmacology or a related field who is engaged in clinical/translational research. ASCPT broadly defines clinical research as investigation in clinical pharmacology that is hypothesis-driven and focused on drug discovery and molecular research, drug development, drug action and disposition, clinical trials, regulatory sciences, therapeutics and outcomes research. Our focus is on human-based research. For details about 2012 submission guidelines, click here.
