Award
In total, 67 applications were received, with the vast majority of an excellent standard. As the selection committee noted a particularly high number of high-quality applications, they chose to recognise two categories:
Six awards were given to the most Outstanding Young Investigators, each receiving individual awards of $2,000.
Five awards were also given for High Achievement, with each winner receiving $1,000.
Performance was evaluated relative to opportunity and applicants were chosen on the basis of their achievements.
