ALICE G. BRANDFONBRENER
YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARD
The AGB Award is recognition of recently completed original work by an investigator who is still in an education program, training or residency. The research and paper earning this award is usually the result of one of the first significant studies made by the author and signals the beginning of one’s professional career.
A $300 honorarium plus reimbursed of travel expenses, to a maximum, are provided to the winner who will come to Aspen to present his or her paper during the Symposium on Medical Problems of Musicians & Dancers in June. The time allotment is 25 minutes for the lecture plus 5 minutes for questions. The president of PAMA introduces the award winner and presents a plaque. The paper is also published in PAMA's peer-reviewed journal, Medical Problems of Performing Artists. One’s paper cannot have been published elsewhere if it is to be considered for this Award.
