Student Manuscript FAQs
Who is eligible for the JEMF Student Manuscript Award?
To be considered for the JEMF Student Manuscript Award, the applicant must be a NSGC member in good standing who applied for a JEMF Student Research Award within the past 5 years; have their graduate research results accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal; and be the first, second, or last author on the publication. It is not a requirement that the student have received funding from JEMF; only that they applied for the JEMF Student Research Award funding during their graduate training.
My program director is on the JEMF Advisory Group (AG). Will they be able to contribute to the decision process regarding my application?
JEMF AG members who have a conflict of interest for any JEMF award submission are not permitted to contribute to the decision process regarding that award. As such, your program director on the AG would not be able to contribute to the decision process.
Can I resubmit a JEMF application for a manuscript award?
Applications for the manuscript award may be resubmitted if the applicant is still eligible to win the award (e.g. within the 5-year time frame post-JEMF Student Research Award application.)
How are funds received?
Funds will be disbursed as a one-time check made payable directly to the author awardee, typically within a month of selecting the awardee. There are no stipulations on these funds, therefore the awardee is free to use them as they see fit.
