Canadian Society for Pharmaceutical Sciences is pleased to offer trainee awards for best poster presentations by CSPS members. Candidates must be members of CSPS, and may be a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow in industry, government, academia, or research institutes, as well as medical residents. In addition, there is one award at $200.00 for the best undergraduate poster award; GSK Undergraduate Student Research Award winners are eligible. Posters are evaluated on presentation, scientific merit, discovery, innovation, and contribution.
