You haven’t missed your chance to submit to the HUPO Early Career Researcher Manuscript Competition! Submit your original research article, from the past year, by April 18th, 2025, for a chance to present your work at HUPO 2025 in Toronto, Canada. This competition, sponsored by Taylor and Francis, is a unique opportunity for early career researchers to gain visibility within the broader proteomics community.
We encourage early career researchers - postdoctoral fellows, young clinicians, and junior faculty - with a publication or accepted manuscript in the 2024 and 2025 calendar years to participate. Three finalists will be selected to present their work in a dedicated plenary session at HUPO 2025, where an expert committee will determine the “Proteomics Highlight of the Year” by an early career researcher.
Eligibility criteria: This competition is intended for postdoctoral fellows (Ph.D. degree awarded post January 2019), junior faculty members (appointment post January 2021 and PhD awarded post January 2013), and young clinicians (M.D. degree awarded post January 2018). Applicants must be HUPO members. Career interruptions and leaves, such as parental leaves, will be considered to extend the eligibility period. Finalists from previous years are ineligible to participate.
Publication criteria: The applicant must have significantly contributed to the publication as a first or last (or shared first/last) author. The publication must be an original research article. Review articles will not be considered for this competition. The publication must have been accepted or printed for publication at the time of submission for the competition but must not have been published before January 1, 2024. Manuscripts that were posted on bioRxiv and other preprint servers prior to submission will be considered.
