Award Information

Applications

Applications can be made by submission of a 300-word abstract of the results of their research on a lipids-related theme to awards@soci.org. Whilst their research can be placed within the context of a wider research group activity, it must be clear what their own specific research contribution is. In contrast to standard scientific writing, applicants are requested to make liberal use of personal pronouns to make this distinction (e.g. "I" or "my" vs ""we" or "our"). Students must provide the start date of their PhD.
