Call for Nominations:

The William J. Gies Award is given for the best paper published in the Journal of Dental Research during the preceding year. Nominations are made by individuals, by the Gies Award Committee, and by the Editor of the JDR. Most IADR/AADR awards are restricted to certain disciplines of research, but the JDR Gies Award is one of the few open to anyone who publishes in the Journal of Dental Research.

The Gies Award consists of a $1000 cash prize and a plaque which will be presented during the Opening Ceremonies of either the 88th General Session & Exhibition of the IADR in Barcelona, Spain on July 14, 2010 or the 38th Annual Meeting of the AADR on March 3, 2010. 

IADR/AADR members are invited to send nominations for outstanding papers published in the JDR between July, 2008 and June, 2009.
