APSR / PE Young Investigator Award for Clinical Resp Medicine Research

This award will be available for the best Clinical Respiratory Medicine abstract presented at each APSR Congress until 2033.

This award is generously provided by Dr Philip Eng (Singapore) for the advancement of Clinical Respiratory Medicine by an APSR Young Investigator from an Asia-Pacific country/region who is presenting original work at the APSR Congress. It serves to spur on the next generation of clinical respiratory medicine researchers.

Philip Eng, MBBS, FCCP, FACP, FRCP (Lond), FAPSR is Senior Consultant Respiratory Medicine at Mt Elizabeth Hospital and professor at the National University of Singapore. He was former Head of Clinical Respiratory Medicine and Bronchoscopy Assemblies of the APSR.

The winning abstract is selected by the APSR, supported by the APSR Clinical Respiratory Medicine Assembly, which ranks the abstracts for their novelty, importance, methodology, clarity and overall quality. A consensus on the best (eligible) Clinical Respiratory Medicine abstract is then obtained through a rigorous judging system.

The Award

  • US$500 (jointly funded by Dr Eng and the APSR)
  • A commemorative certificate
  • Invitation to the Gala Dinner (or similar social event) for the award ceremony
  • The awardee may also be introduced on the APSR website, Bulletin and social media.
