AADR NSRG Mentor Award

In 1997, the AADR National Student Research Group (NSRG) initiated the NSRG Mentor Award. This award was established in order to provide national recognition for outstanding faculty mentors. The recipient of the NSRG Mentor Award will receive a plaque and will be the guest speaker at the annual SRG Faculty Advisors’/SRG Presidents’ event during the 2016 AADR/CADR Annual Meeting & Exhibition in Los Angeles, California.

Criteria for Nominees

In order to recognize as many mentors as possible, a nominee must not be a past recipient of the mentor Award. Each nominee needs to have experience in research and must show support for student research. The nominee also needs to be a faculty member at the nominating students’ dental school and must be a current member of IADR/AADR.

  • What impact has the nominee had on Student Research and the local SRG?
  • How does he/she motivate/teach students?
  • A brief background about the nominee’s teaching career (length of time).
  • Please mention the nominee’s current on-going projects.

Note: Three students (can be pre-dental, D.M.D./D.D.S., Ph.D., dual degree or post-doctoral students) must sign and date the application. Students must be members of IADR/AADR.
