UK Barrett’s Oesophagus Registry (UKBOR) Prize was introduced in 2022 and created to support further research into this important area of gastroenterology. The award will recognise an up-and-coming researcher and provide them with expenses to allow them to travel to the Digestive Diseases Week (DDW) meeting in the USA with an appropriate medal or similar award to recognise their achievement.

The prize will be awarded annually at the BSG Annual Meeting, recognising the best presentation in the field of Barrett’s oesophagus by an early career researcher.

What will the award comprise?

An expenses-paid trip to attend USA Digestive Diseases Week, including:

• Transport to the DDW meeting in the US (economy class)
• Fees for attending the DDW
• Reasonably priced accommodation – usually that associated with the Conference, but agreed at the discretion of the BSG
