Sponsored by QbD Product Performance focus group
(Deadline: May 14, 2012)
The AAPS Quality-by-Design (QbD) and Product Performance focus group will annually present an award to promote the group's goals to:
- provide a scientific forum that creates and fosters multidisciplinary collaborations leading to enhanced product performance consistent with predefined objectives for greater patient benefit,
- leverage, advance, and accelerate science- and risk-based approaches and technologies and develop strategies that link the critical quality attributes, product, process, and patient throughout the product life cycle.
After consultation with the group’s membership at the 2011 AAPS Annual Meeting and Exposition, it was decided this would be best achieved by promoting these types of activities in graduate students, since they would then take this type of thinking into future careers and may also stimulate fundamental academic research in this area. Selection will be made on the basis of the student judged by the committee to have provided the most outstanding contributions in the above field through their graduate research. There are no citizenship requirements for this award. All interested candidates are encouraged to apply. Students must be in their final year of graduate studies leading to the doctorate degree (or will be awarded their doctorate in 2012). The student selected will receive a commemorative plaque and a cash award of $1000.
