Apply now for the Kirkpatrick History of Medicine Award
We are delighted to launch the sixth annual Kirkpatrick Award for history of medicine research.
The award will be made as part of the Heritage Centre Lectures at our annual St Luke’s Symposium on Thursday 20 October 2016.
The Kirkpatrick Award is open to all researchers in the field of the history of medicine in Ireland, as well as related social and cultural history fields. The purpose of the award is to support and develop the study of the history of medicine in Ireland and to promote the use of the library, archive and heritage item collections held by RCPI.
Applicants are asked to submit an abstract based on their research (maximum 800 words) with a copy of their CV, by Friday 9 September 2016.
Research must be unpublished and must have been undertaken in the last three years. Research that has been submitted for publication will be considered, but details should be given of when and where it has been submitted, and if it has been accepted for publication.
A judging process will commence in September which will conclude with finalists presenting their 15 minute research papers on Thursday 20 October 2016.
