Stephen Bayne Mid-Career Award
Background
This is a new award was presented for the first time in 2017.
The annual deadline for submissions is February 7th.
DMG sponsors awards at the (1) most
senior level IADR level (Wilmer Souder Distinguished Scientist Award),
(2) through internally administered recognition of excellence in basic
and applied science via Peyton-Skinner and Ryge-Mahler awards to
relatively senior levels of their careers, (3) students with fellowships
and travel awards through the AADR/IADR, (4) and for student travel
awards through the DMG’s cooperation with Heraeus Kulzer. These awards
leave an obvious gap in terms of recognition of researchers who are in
the critical early stages of their mid-careers.
In 2016, DMG announced the creation
of a special (5) DMG Mid-Career Award. In recognition of the
tremendous support that Steve Bayne has given to so many dental
materials researchers at all stages of their professional careers as
well as his unparalleled devotion to make the DMG the exemplary
organization within the IADR, we are extremely proud to offer this new
DMG Mid-Career Award in his name.

Purpose
The objective of the Mid-Career
Award is to recognize IADR members who have demonstrated significant
contribution to the science and application of dental materials research by
their mid-career with the aim to help attract and retain younger investigators
in the field of dental materials research. To remain a vital and relevant
organization, it is imperative for the DMG to maintain and invigorate our
pipeline of researchers engaged in all aspects of traditional dental materials
as well as materials-centered studies applied to the oral/facial complex. To
encourage diverse, high-quality research perspectives and initiatives, we want
to be fully inclusive in this outreach to include individuals from any
institution as well as from all regions of the IADR - North America, Latin
America, Europe, Africa/Middle East, and Asia/Pacific.
Eligibility
Prospective candidates for this
award should demonstrate:
(1) IADR/DMG membership;
(2) a minimum of 5 years beyond the granting of their PhD, or equivalent highest
degree; and
(3) at least a 3-year record of participation as lead author on abstracts
presented at IADR or related DMG-sponsored programs.
Applications
The application
process requires the submission of:
(a) current CV,
(b) two
letters of support from established and productive DMG members, and
(c) a brief narrative (1-page maximum) that highlights how the
individual’s prior research accomplishments are anticipated to
transition in work going forward (specific details not necessary but a
general idea of the intended research direction is requested).
The application package must be submitted to
the Chair of
the DMG Awards Committee, by February 7th of the meeting year.
Award
One awardee is selected each
year. The award will consist of a (a) plaque and (b) a cash award (5000
USD) to foster continuing research activities and to travel to the IADR meeting
in the same year to accept the award.
Presentation
The Award will be presented as
part of the business meeting of the DMG at the IADR meeting.
