Up to CAD $100,000 will be awarded to exceptional papers with potential to make a strong contribution to the topics of interest to the ICPM Research Partners. To be considered, research should be completed or close to completion but not published. The Research Award will seek to reward innovation, practical applicability, and research excellence. Award winners will be invited to present their research at a webinar or at an ICPM Discussion Forum, and their papers will receive wide distribution among the ICPM Research Partners.
