The prestigious “Young Investigator of the Year Award” is jointly presented annually with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) for “Excellence in Research” to an outstanding medically qualified young researcher in British Paediatrics.
Fifteen awards have been made since 1999 to excellent young researchers from around 
the country who have gone on to make important contributions to their fields. Some have also gained Sparks grant funding helping the charity to meet its important aims.
The Young Investigator of the Year award consists of a trophy, together with £500 for the winner and a further £500 to the department in which they work for the purchase of equipment or other expenses connected with their research.
