Young Investigators

APS is pleased to grant Young Investigator travel Awards to 60 trainees to attend the 2016 Annual Scientific Meeting. These individuals will present their research during designated poster sessions. The APS meeting creates a milieu in which scientists and clinicians can share relevant information from their differing perspectives, frequently leading to advances in science and clinical care. Funding for the 2016 Young Investigator travel Award Program is supported by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
