The Dr. Patricia Flach ISFRI Prize

Description:     
An annual award to a trainee forensic pathologist, radiologist, anthropologist or imaging scientist to attend the annual scientific meeting of ISFRI and present a scientific paper. During the 2021 ISFRI Congress, the ISFRI Prize was renamed to The Dr. Patricia Flach ISFRI Prize to honor and memorialize of Dr. Flach’s efforts in establishing and promoting the society and the field of forensic imaging.

Applicants must provide documentation of their trainee status by way of a letter of support from their academic supervisor.

Requirements:       
Candidates must submit an abstract of original scientific research in forensic imaging to the Congress scientific committee for consideration (stating that it is for ISFRI prize consideration). The scientific committee of each Annual Congress will prepare a short list of the best papers based on originality and scientific merit. From that short list, the current ISFRI Board Chairperson will make a final decision on the recipient.

Benefits:       
The prize will consist of a subscription to the Annual Congress and €1000. The recipient will be expected to organize travel, accommodation and any additional expenses. The winning paper will be given as an oral presentation at the ISFRI Congress and will be acknowledged in a banner headline as the ISFRI prize winner in a written paper to be submitted to Forensic Imaging journal following the Congress.
