The winning paper will be published in Academic Radiology, and the author will receive a $1,000 honorarium, crystal award and certificate, and will be asked to present his or her essay during the AUR 57th Annual Meeting in Arlington, Virginia, May 12-15, 2009.

Submissions of the manuscript for the Memorial Award should be made through the ACADEMIC RADIOLOGY online, electronic submission system.

By accessing the website http://ees.elsevier.com/arad authors will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files. When submitting a manuscript to the Elsevier Editorial System, authors need to provide an electronic version of their manuscript. For this purpose original source files, not PDF files, are required and should be submitted as word documents with .tif figures (300 DPI for half-tones and 800-1200 DPI for line-art). The author should specify the category designation for the manuscript of Memorial Award, and choose a set of classifications from the prescribed list provided online. Authors may send queries concerning the submission process, manuscript status, or journal procedures to the Editorial Office. Once the submission files are uploaded, the system automatically generates an electronic (PDF) proof, which is then used for reviewing. All correspondence will be by e-mail.

Abstracts of manuscripts are encouraged and must adhere to the abstract deadline of
November 5, 2008, 12:00 pm (noon) Central time and will undergo the same peer review process as other abstracts.

The winner of the 2009 Memorial Award will be notified in March 2009.
