The abstracts competing for the DK Award will be selected by scientists of the scientific committee, among all the submitted abstracts reviewed and graded. The final selection may involve four to six abstracts. Finalists will receive individual notice at the time of the general decision of acceptance or rejection of the abstracts, by the organizing committee to which the selection of finalists will be forwarded. During the meeting, a special session, “the DK Award session” grouping the papers in competition, will be chaired by a panel of distinguished researchers, scientists, or clinicians representing a wide spectrum of the medical science and trends of research for cardiovascular disease and appointed by the chairman and by the scientific committee.
The criteria retained for the evaluation are the following:
| The scientific merit of the abstract. | |
| The originality and quality of the research. | |
| The presentation of the abstract. |
The decision made by the panel, with the name of the winner will be announced at the end of the session or at the closing ceremony of the meeting, according to the Chairman’s decision.
The winner will receive the award of which the amount will be decided by the ICDS President and Officers and later delivered by check from the ICDS secretarial office. An official acknowledgement consisting of a parchment paper signed by the ICDS President and ICDS officers will be sent to the winner.
Recently, several ICDS members have contributed $800 towards the next Daniel Kalmanson Award fund.
