ELIGIBILITY
Full-time residents as of the application deadline in an accredited US periodontal program in any year of residency are eligible to apply. Co-applications are acceptable only if equal contribution to the research project by each student is confirmed by the graduate program director and the number of co-applicants should be limited to two.
Amount of Award and Use of Funds
The Schoor Award Committee distributes one $2,000 award each year for a manuscript written by the resident as sole or principal author based on his or her research. A Schoor Research Award is a tax-exempt income-supplementing scholarship. The manuscript must be appropriate for submission to the Journal of Periodontology, but receipt of a Schoor Award is not contingent upon publication.
