• This year the Research Committee reviewed a total of 81 abstracts submitted by first authors in training in the category of “Cytopathology”.

• This year (2015) we have reviewed the highest number of abstracts as a result of skipping the step where we ask the authors to submit their application for the award and having the program director signature (only 20-30 authors responded in the past).
