RCPI History of Medicine Research Award 2015
The Royal
College of Physicians of Ireland is delighted to announce the launch of the fifth
annual RCPI History of Medicine Research Award. The award will be made as part
of the Heritage Centre Lectures at the St Luke’s Symposium, to be held on Tuesday
13 October 2015. This is a public
event, to encourage engagement with the history of medicine in Ireland.
The
award prize is €500.
The
RCPI History of Medicine Research 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 4
September 2015. Research must be unpublished and must have been undertaken
in the last 3 years. Research which 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 four
finalists presenting their 15 minute research papers to an adjudication panel
on Tuesday 13 October 2015.
