Student Award Opportunities

Student Presentation Awards

We are proud to provide six outstanding student paper awards (three for oral presentations and three for posters) as well as four honorable mentions. The outstanding student paper award ($200 each) recognizes outstanding student papers based on evaluations of both the submitted paper abstracts and corresponding oral or poster presentations. In particular, students selected for the award should demonstrate outstanding qualities, including the following:

  • significance of the work and originality and creativity of the approach;
  • clear explanation of methods;
  • visual clarity (clarity of figures, appropriate font sizes, effective use of space, headings, etc.);
  • organization and logical structure (e.g., clearly stated questions, results and conclusions);
  • conclusions supported by data and analysis;
  • author’s knowledge of the subject matter including awareness of prior research in the field;
  • and ability to answer questions.

To be eligible for the awards, you must be a full-time undergraduate or graduate student enrolled at a university, and you also must be the lead author, personally presenting the work. Students must indicate whether they wish to be considered for a paper award when submitting their abstracts.
