Awards

• I would like to apply for one of the paper or poster awards. How should I apply for these?
  
• The award description says materials should be submitted by September, but that abstracts are due in March. What does this mean?
  
• I have prepared a symposium or poster abstract, but the award description only mentions paper abstracts. Can I submit my poster or symposia for consideration?
  
• I submitted an abstract as the primary presenter, but there is a co-presenter who will be at the conference. Would this exclude me from consideration for any awards?
  

Q: I would like to apply for one of the paper or poster awards. How should I apply for these?
A: In order to be considered for one of the paper or poster awards, you must submit an abstract and use the same form to select any awards for which you’d like to be considered. Once your abstract has been accepted, you will be contacted and prompted to submit the materials necessary for consideration.
