Brian K. Hall Award in Comparative Morphology and Development
The Brian K. Hall Award in Comparative Morphology and Development is given each year for the best student (undergraduate or graduate) oral presentation at the annual meeting. The winner receives a $400 prize and recognition on the CMDB website. Eligible students are encouraged to apply for this award at the time they register for the annual meeting.
