A reminder below about a program posted last month. We would love to get UK submissions - 2 of our top 4 last year were from the UK. Please bring this to the attention of any good students you might know who work in this field, and feel free to re-post this on any other stat, epi or clinical trial electronic or physical bulletin boards that you have access to that such students or their mentors might see. Thanks to all.

Students are invited to submit abstracts, along with a short manuscript (not to exceed three pages), for consideration for presentation at the 2001 SCT Annual Meeting, and the awards described at the end of this announcement. ELIGIBILITY All students enrolled in a degree program of an accredited college or university, post-doctoral fellows, or physicians enrolled in an accredited residency program are eligible. The manuscript must relate to original work that has not yet been published. Student eligibility will be assessed by the committee at the time of submission. TOPICS Sample topics include (but are not limited to): methods to design or analyze a specific trial or class of clinical trials; review of results or methods of a class of trials; medical, legal or ethical issues related to clinical trials; data entry, management, and computing as applied to clinical trials, or scholarship in the history of clinical trials. Results of individual clinical trials or meta-analyses are of interest if they illustrate a methodologic advance in design or analysis, or if their results have methodologic implications. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE AND DEADLINE Manuscripts should be no more than three double-spaced pages. Abstracts should be submitted on an official SCT abstract form. Seven copies of both abstract and short manuscript should be submitted. A letter from the student's faculty advisor stating that he/she is a bona fide student and briefly describing the student's course of study should accompany the submission. If the manuscript is co-authored, this letter should also include an indication of the level of involvement of the various authors. The deadline for submissions is December 1, 2000. Student scholarship abstracts may not be submitted online. REVIEW Selections are made by the Student Scholarship Committee. Three students are expected to be named as presenters. These winners will be notified by January 3. The student who submitted the work must be available to travel to the meeting and present their paper. They are required to provide Scholarship committee members with a copy of the complete paper to be presented at the Annual Meeting by March 15, 2001. A session at the 22nd Annual Meeting will be set aside for Student Scholarship paper presentations followed by discussion. AWARDS Those students selected to present papers will be invited to the meeting with all fees waived and travel and living expenses paid, subject to a negotiable $1750 US limit. The student judged to have the best paper and presentation at the meeting will receive in addition the Thomas C. Chalmers Student Scholarship prize and a $500 cash award.
