This award was created in honour of Dr. Sterling Clarren to recognize his contribution and leadership in the field of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). It celebrates the work of Canadian students or early career researchers whose research has made a substantial contribution to the field of FASD.
Application requirements:
- Applicants must be a resident of Canada
- Applicants must be an early career researcher or a student working in the field of FASD
- Research must be complete or near completion
- Studies must clearly integrate FASD research, policy, and practice, and demonstrate relevance to the human dimensions of FASD

The award recipient will have the opportunity to present their research to the CanFASD Network in the spring of 2023. They will also receive a cash prize and a complimentary one-year individual membership with CanFASD. Applications must be submitted by October 14, 2022.
