UKOTRF Early Researcher Award

The UKOTRF Early Researcher Award is available to presenters at the COT Annual Conference

Did you know that all BAOT members presenting an oral paper at the main COT annual conference on their postgraduate Master’s or doctoral research, or first piece of ethics-approved postgraduate research, are eligible for consideration for the UKOTRF Early Researcher Award?  You can apply to be considered for the award via the on-line abstract submission process.
 
The UKOTRF Early Researcher Award was introduced in 2010. Judging is undertaken by members of the Research and Development Board and Group, using a marking schedule designed to capture information about overall presentation skills, the strength of the methodology and implications of the findings. Due to the high calibre of the presentations reviewed in the inaugural round, two BAOT members received the award in 2010. All presenters participating in the scheme receive written feedback on their presentation.
