Gies Foundation for the Advancement of Dentistry of the American Dental Education Association (ADEA Gies Foundation).

Recognition

The Gies Editorial Award is considered to be highly prestigious in dentistry and is presented annually at the AADE Annual Conference (held prior to the ADA Annual Session). This year the award will be presented on October 9, 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Gies Editorial Award for 2011 consists of a plaque and a $1,500 honorarium. Certificates and honoraria are also presented to First and Second Honorable Mentions. The Gies Editorial Award Committee, the AADE, and the ADEA look forward to your participation.
