American Society of Biomechanics: Early Career Achievement Award Grant

The American Society of Biomechanics' Early Career Achievement Award aims to recognize and promote the work of emerging scientists who have received their PhD within the last five years. This award encourages the exchange of ideas among biomechanists across various disciplines and supports their attendance at the annual ASB meeting, where they present their findings. The award includes a plaque, a $500 check, and waived meeting fees, fostering the development of biomechanics as an applied science.

To encourage and foster the exchange of information and ideas among biomechanists working in different disciplines and fields of application, biological sciences, exercise and sports science, health sciences, ergonomics and human factors, and engineering and applied science, and to facilitate the development of biomechanics as a basic and applied science.
This award recognizes early achievements by promising scientists who is within five years of receiving their PhD. Selection is based upon the scientific quality of the submitted material. The awardee must attend the annual ASB meeting to present their work in a special awards session. It is expected that the awardee will submit a full-length manuscript for publication in the Journal of Biomechanics. The award consists of an engraved plaque, a check for $500, and a waiver of meeting fees for the annual ASB meeting.
