By Bio-IT World Staff 

November 5, 2012 | The 2013 Bio-IT World Best Practices competition has released its Call for Entries. Since 2003, Bio-IT World's Best Practices competition has been recognizing outstanding examples of technology and strategic innovation initiatives across the biomedical and drug discovery enterprise.   

The deadline for entry is January 11, 2013, and the early bird deadline is December 14, 2012. 

The awards attract an elite group of life science professionals: executives, entrepreneurs, innovators, researchers and clinicians responsible for developing and implementing innovative solutions for streamlining the drug development and clinical trial process. Bio-IT World's distinguished peer-review panel of judges has reviewed more than 400 entries in the program's history. 

“The annual Bio-IT World Best Practices Awards are one of the highlights of our calendar,” said Bio-IT World chief editor Kevin Davies. “We truly look forward to reviewing this year’s entries, which we anticipate will encompass an exciting variety of new technologies and powerful case studies that, in many cases, point to new ideas and solutions for managing health care data and personalizing medicine.” 

Entries will be accepted in six categories: Clinical & Health-IT; IT infrastructure/HPC; Informatics; Knowledge Management; Research & Drug Discovery; and Personalized & Translational Medicine. 

The 2013 winners will receive a unique crystal award to be presented at the Bio-IT World Conference & Expo in Boston, April 9-11, 2013. Winners and entrants will also be featured on Bio-IT World.com
