Our awards support research by the best and brightest from young investigators to senior researchers. We encourage the experts to join and share their research virtually at KATRD International Conference.
Abstracts of superior quality will be selected by the Scientific Program Committee of the KATRD International Conference for the awards. We encourage all potential authors to submit their outstanding research for oral presentation and to win the awards.

· Awards will be given to participants who present an abstract accepted for oral presentation.
· Awardees must complete registration prior to the conference.
· The Scientific Review Committee will judge presentations before the conference.
· Awardees will be notified by e-mail.
· Awardees will be requested to submit a copy of their passport.
· Failure to submit the required documents will result in the withdrawal of the grant.
* Awardees are kindly requested to visit the Preview Room after the completion of their presentation session to collect the Travel Grant.
* In case an awardee is assigned to multiple sessions, the Travel Grant will be available for collection only after all assigned sessions have been completed.
