Awardee Information
All recipients are asked to pick up their Welcome Packet at the Associate Member Resource and Career Center, which opens Sunday, April 13 at 8:00 a.m.
An award check will be presented to most recipients on-site. (GlaxoSmithKline Clinical Scholars and winners of the Prostate Cancer Foundation Recognition Awards will instead be reimbursed following the meeting.)
Photo identification will be required to collect the award
check. If an award recipient is unable to attend the meeting or will
not be the presenter of the abstract, the award must be forfeited.
Please note that for residents of the United States these awards may be
considered taxable income by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service unless
receipts justifying expenditures are submitted following the meeting. Instructions are provided here and in the Welcome Packet that you will receive on-site.
Award winners will be able to cash their checks locally at Bank of America, and do not need an account with this bank to do so. (You may be subject to a $5 fee if you do not have an account.)
Awardees will receive an invitation to a reception honoring their achievements under separate cover.
Award recipients are still required to pay the Annual Meeting
registration fee and make their own travel and housing arrangements.
