Student Awards
Student Awards are designed to stimulate interest in gastrointestinal related careers and provide support for research projects. High school, undergraduate, medical or graduate students (not yet engaged in thesis research) at accredited North American Institutions are encouraged to apply.
This award program offers $2,500 stipends for 10 high school students to spend time performing research in digestive diseases or nutrition for a minimum of 10 weeks. The research may take place at any time during the year.
Eight travel awards of $500 each will be given to high school, undergraduate, graduate and medical students who have submitted abstracts chosen by the AGA to be presented during Digestive Disease Week. Medical residents up to and including postgraduate year three are also eligible for the award. The three best student abstracts submitted will receive a $1,000 prize. Prize recipients will be acknowledged at the NIH/PhD/Investigators Research Symposium during DDW.
