The Canadian Dental Specialties Association (CDSA) supports up to two student awards each year. This award recognizes student excellence in research at a Canadian dental specialty training program.
Award Criteria (Eligibility)
The award is given to students undertaking dental specialty training in a recognized Canadian dental specialty, and who will be presenting their research at an international scientific conference.

The value of the award will be up to a maximum of $1,000 CAD for each student, according to CDSA travel policy and procedures.
A student may receive the International Research Presentation Award only once during their lifetime.
