Trainee Research Awards

The APA Trainee Research Awards annually honor students, residents, and fellows engaged in pediatric research.  These awards are designed to recognize research excellence in the fields of general pediatrics (including public health, epidemiology, health policy, and underserved populations), health services research, education, adolescent medicine, child abuse, developmental/behavioral pediatrics, emergency medicine, and hospitalist medicine.  These awards are meant to encourage pediatric trainees to pursue careers in academic general pediatrics.

Awardees are selected based on the quality of their submitted PAS abstract.  Up to four individuals per trainee level (medical student, resident, fellow) will receive an award in addition to a certificate for the honoree and their mentor.
