Each year, the EBASG provides $500 and waives the meeting registration fee for the best student abstract submitted and presented at the SRA annual meeting, in the area of economics and benefits analysis. Interested students should indicate that they would like to be considered for this award when they submit their abstract for consideration by the annual meeting Committee. The winner will be announced by 1 September of each year. Note that this Student Merit Award is completely independent from the need-based SRA travel awards given to students and international applicants to attend the annual meeting. Any Student Merit Award winner may also apply for and receive need-based student and international travel funding.
The award is presented at the EBASG business meeting during the annual meeting.
