Each year the New York State Chapter, American College of Cardiology sponsors the Young Investigators’ Award Competition in conjunction with its annual scientific session. Any physician who is currently in a residency or fellowship training program, or who is within three years of having completed a fellowship in any cardiovascular related discipline, may compete as a candidate for the Young Investigators' Award.

To compete in the Young Investigators' Competition, candidates must submit an abstract according to the standard format. Two awards are given each year: one for original work in Clinical Investigation; the other for original work in Basic Research. Winners in each category receive a cash prize of $500 and travel expenses. Winners are requested to prepare a poster presentation to be displayed at the annual scientific session of The New York Cardiological Society, Inc. and the New York State Chapter, American College of Cardiology.
