Named to honor the memory of a pioneer in RLS research and established in 2010, the Wayne Hening Young Investigator Awards are presented at the annual meeting of the IRLSSG. The up-to five $1,000 awards recognize research efforts by new investigators in an attempt to promote interest in the study of RLS.
The 2024 Wayne Hening Young Investigator Awards will be made to welcome:
1. Either young investigators new to the RLS/PLMS field who are no more than 10 years past receiving their PhD or MD; or
2. Senior investigators new to the RLS/PLMS field (first publication of a first author abstract or journal article in the RLS/PLMS field is within the last 3 years); and
3. Submitted abstract. The abstract does not need to be accepted at another congress (for example SLEEP 2023). Prior submitted abstracts can be submitted, but need to be disclosed when the abstract data was presented.
The awardees are expected to present their work at the IRLSSG 2024 Annual Scientific Meeting, held in Houston Texas on June 2, 2024.
Abstracts considered for award will be judged based on work quality and relevance to the field.
