2009 Annual Meeting Student Poster Contest

 

The SPR ECPN Student Poster Contest has been developed to encourage student attendance and
participation in the annual meeting, increase student visibility at the conference, attract new
student members to SPR and ECPN, and encourage existing student members to become full members upon
graduation. Both master's and doctoral level students are encouraged to enter.

 

Student submissions for the poster contest are due October 20, 2008.  Students will submit their
posters through the poster submission process as outlined by SPR
(http://www.preventionresearch.org/meeting2009_callforpapers.php
<http://www.mmsend1.com/ls.cfm?r=167949765&sid=4877199&m=572159&u=StatMarket&s=http://www.prevention
research.org/meeting2009_callforpapers.php> )  To enter in the poster contest, students will
indicate their participation on the poster abstract submission form.  Contestants must be the
primary and presenting author on the abstract submission.

 

The poster contest will take place Wednesday evening during the SPR poster session and winners will
be announced on Thursday at the awards reception. The top 3 poster authors will receive a $250
travel award plus a free 1-year SPR membership. The top 10% of poster authors will receive a 1-year
SPR membership.

 

Poster contestant participants whose abstracts have been accepted by SPR for presentation at the
conference will also be required to submit their poster slides electronically approximately two
weeks prior to the conference. The contest judging criteria will include innovation, importance of
the research topic to the field, quality, use of advanced methods and contribution to prevention
science.
