Sir Grafton Elliot Smith Award

The Sir Grafton Elliot-Smith Award commemorates the Australian Professor of Anatomy whose major contributions were in comparative anatomy and evolution of the nervous system. Until 2008 it was for the best essay on a neuroscience topic by a student member of the society who has not yet submitted a thesis for a doctorate.

From 2009 the Sir Grafton Elliot-Smith Award will be presented for the best poster by a Student Member of the Society at the Annual Meeting. Applicants must mark the Student Poster Prize box on their registration/abstract forms when registering for the Annual Meeting of the Society. At the abstract submission deadline, candidates must be a Student member of ANS who has not yet submitted a thesis for a doctoral degree.

Deadline for submission will be the same as the deadline for receipt of registration/abstracts for the meeting. Applicants for the Sir Grafton Elliot Smith Award must register for the meeting by the date for submission of abstracts.

Full details will be given in the meeting registration brochure/website.
