The ORCA Junior Scientist Award, inaugurated in 2007 as the Young Investigator’s Award and renamed into "ORCA Nathan Cochrane Junior Scientist Award" at the General Assembly of 4 July 2014 in Greifswald, Germany, intends to encourage and support young scientists in the field of cariology. It is awarded for an outstanding contribution to the annual ORCA conference.

The prize winner receives a certificate and is entitled to receive reimbursement of the congress fees of a future ORCA Congress.
