ASA Kansas City Meeting Student Competition

Date de publication : May 01, 2012 8:37:52 PM

The ASA Technical Committee on Biomedical Acoustics offers a Best Student Poster Award to students who present at the 2012 meeting in

Kansas City. Students who enter the competition are expected to give an oral presentation in a regular/special session and defend a poster in a separate student poster session. Only the poster presentation will be judged for the competition. If a student, as first author, will be

presenting multiple abstracts at the meeting, then they must select only one to submit for the competition. Abstracts submitted by students who elect to participate in the competition will be listed in the program in appropriate oral sessions. Please read the entry qualifications that

appear below to be sure you are eligible and follow the instructions for entering the competition.

AWARD AMOUNTS:

Up to three awards will be presented to students presenting papers in sessions organized by the Technical Committee for Biomedical Acoustics and participating in the special student poster session: $500 for first prize, $300 for second prize, and $200 for third prize.

QUALIFICATIONS:

To qualify for an award, a student must:

1) be enrolled as a student at least half-time (graduates are eligible if the work being presented was performed as a student within one year of the meeting). Note that you do not need to be a member of the ASA to qualify

2) be listed as the first author on the submitted abstract

3) present the paper in an oral session

4) defend the poster at a special student poster session, which will be open to all attendees

SELECTION:
