2015 Pfizer Award Recipients

2015 SRI/Pfizer President's Presenter Award Winners

The Pfizer (formerly Wyeth) President’s Presenter Award was established in 1996 to recognize the 25 most meritorious abstracts (either poster or oral presentation) submitted by individuals still in training.

Fellows and those in both pre and post-doctoral training are eligible to receive the award, which has been generously funded by Pfizer. The 25 awardees will receive a certificate, a check, and they and their training directors will be honored at a luncheon at the SRI annual meeting. The society has always sought a means by which to encourage young investigators to present their research at our meeting. We anticipate the Pfizer President’s Presenter’s Award will result in the submission of more and better abstracts by the very people who need encouragement to consider a research career.
