Announcement of the Winner of the BCIS Young Investigator Award Competition

18th December 2023

BCIS Young Investigator Award competition is a unique opportunity for our young colleagues to submit their original research. This year we received large number of applications for the above award than previous years. Initial independent selection process shortlisted the top 5 candidates who were invited to present their research in person at the BCIS Research Day held at the Royal College of Physicians London on 14/12/23. The selection panel on the day had the difficult task to choose one winner.

I am delighted to confirm that this year’s winner is Dr. Aish Sinha from King’s College London. Aish’s research is based on angina/ischaemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA/INOCA). His work further enhanced our understanding of this under diagnosed condition and improved treatment for patients with coronary microvascular dysfunction. Aish will present his research again at the ACI Conference in London next month.

Many congratulations to Aish for this fantastic achievement!

I also would like to take the opportunity to congratulate all the finalists for their outstanding work. I personally (echoed by the attendees on the BCIS Research day) found our young colleagues’ work very inspiring and thrilled to see we have so many talented young colleagues who really are our future leaders and investigators.

Dear BCIS Member,

I am pleased to invite you to submit abstracts to compete for the 2 BCIS Research Awards 2020.

YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARD
This award is open to any person who is not yet at Consultant grade. The applicant would normally be presenting original data from a project for which they have played a leading role, but will freely acknowledge the contribution of their supervisor and the rest of the research team.

BCIS RESEARCHER OF THE YEAR AWARD
This award is open to any BCIS member. Applicants can therefore include senior investigators presenting any type of research that relates to interventional cardiology.

Applications in each category will be graded and the best 4 will be invited to present their abstract to a panel of judges at the BCIS Research Day at the Royal College of Physicians in London on 9 December 2019. The winner in each category will then be invited to present their abstract at a main session at ACI 2020,  and will receive their certificate and prize from the President at this session.

Calls for the BCIS Young Investigator Award & the new BCIS Research of the Year Award

14th September 2018

Dear BCIS Member,

Following the success of the Young Investigator award last year, I am pleased to announce that we are continuing with this process again this year, but we are also introducing a new category of research award.

The new award, the BCIS Research of the Year Award, will be open for all researchers, not just Young Investigators, and will run in parallel with the YIA. Our aim is to attract the submission of any original research from more senior investigators around the UK. In each category, the best 4 submissions will be shortlisted for presentation at the BCIS Research Day at the Royal College of Physicians in London on December 13 2018, at which a panel of judges will pick the overall winner. The winner in each category will then be invited to present their abstract at a main session at ACI 2019 and will receive their certificate and prize from the President at this session.

I therefore invite submissions in 2 categories this year:

1. Young Investigators Award (defined as any trainee below consultant level)

2. BCIS Research of the Year Award (open to any investigator above trainee level)

In both categories submissions should fit the following criteria:
-all original research, basic or clinical, is
-Maximum text of 500 words
-Plus up to 1 table and 1 figure
-Headings: Background; Method; Results; Conclusion
-Not have been published more than 3 months before the closing date (in other words the work can be at any stage of the process from unsubmitted to accepted for publication or very recently published)
-All submissions should include:
Statement of type of award applied for at the top, in bold (YIA or BCIS Research)
Name of applicant first and in bold, followed by list of co-authors where appropriate
Institution
Declaration of funding

All submissions should be sent to bcis@bcs.com by the closing date: midnight on 14/10/18.

I am happy to answer all queries about either award via bcis@bcs.com.
