• IADR David B. Scott Fellowship

  The David B. Scott Fellowship is awarded annually to a dental student in one IADR Division and will rotate alphabetically among the Divisions. It will be the Division's responsibility to select the recipient by any method it devises, but the Division must present the candidate's name and the proposal for his or her research experience to the IADR Board of Directors for approval. The annual recipient of the fellowship will be announced at each IADR General Session & Exhibition. The IADR expects to award the David B. Scott Fellowship in the amount of US$2,500 annually.

• IADR Dianne Rekow Mentoring in Science Award

  The IADR Dianne Rekow Mentoring in Science Award was created in recognition of the late Dr. Rekow and her inspiring dedication and mentorship to many students, scholars and faculty in the dental, oral, and craniofacial sciences. Dianne Rekow was the 88^th president of the IADR (2011-2012) and the 35^th president of the AADOCR (2006-2007). She was a board member of many dental associations in academia and industry, the former Dean of the King’s College London Dental Institute, and the Vice-Provost of Engineering and Technology at New York University.

  Through Dianne’s legacy, the goal is to fund an award that will enable the mentoring of a promising early career researcher by a mid-career female faculty in the dental, oral, and craniofacial sciences.

  The award was introduced by the IADR Women in Science Network (WISN) and Dr. Van Thompson, Dianne’s husband and former chair of the Department of Biomaterials and Biomimetics at New York University College of Dentistry, and will be managed by IADR.

  The funds will be awarded once per year to the mentor/mentee institution (eligible expenses include the mentee’s one year stipend, related experimental costs such as equipment fees and research supplies and travelling expenses to the IADR General Session & Exhibition).

• IADR Isaac Schour Memorial Award

  The IADR Isaac Schour Memorial Award honors Dr. Isaac Schour, an early leader in international dental research and the 18^th President of the IADR (1941-42). Dr. Schour was Professor of Histology (1935-64) and Dean (1955-64) of the University of Illinois, College of Dentistry. The award was funded by the University of Illinois from 1967-1981 and is currently funded through a generous endowment provided by Dr. Bernard G. Sarnat, a former graduate student of Schour, and Rhoda G. Sarnat through the Sarnat Family Foundation. Additional funding is accepted by individuals. The award recognizes outstanding scientific contributions in the anatomic sciences, including tissue engineering, tissue regeneration, and stem cell research as it relates to the oral, dental, or craniofacial complex. It is intended to confer the highest honor in the field of dental and craniofacial research and honor those scientists who, through research in this field, bring about significant advances in oral health. The IADR Isaac Schour Memorial Award is one of 17 IADR Distinguished Scientist Awards.
