Sir Howard Dalton Award For Young Microbiologist of The Year
The SGM organises a competition each year in which Ph.D students and postdoctoral researchers who have completed their Ph.D within the last 2 years are nominated to enter based on their performance at oral and poster presentations during recent SGM conferences. All finalists receive one year's free membership of the SGM along with transport costs to and from the conference at which the finals are held. Three cash prizes of £500, £200 and £100 are awarded to the winner and two runners up. The prize was renamed in 2009 in honour of the late Howard Dalton.
