IACS-NAS 13th Annual Conference
Poster Awards
The conference participants may submit abstracts for poster presentations. A Review Committee appointed by the Program Director will review all abstracts and advise on the science for poster presentation. The selected posters will be placed on assigned poster board numbers for display throughout the conference. However, the primary presenter of each poster is expected to be present at the poster during an assigned time when the appointed judge(s) of the poster session and conference delegates will come by the posters. The primary presenter is expected to present a brief overview (3-5 minutes) of the research work and answer questions of the judges and conference delegates. Judges will score each abstract and top 8 abstracts will be selected for Morris Karmazyn best poster awards (4) and for the Margaret Moffat best poster awards (4).
The IACS-NAS has a strong commitment to promoting the academic careers of junior researchers. Accordingly, several Awards will be offered to students, trainees, and young investigators during the conference.

Other abstracts that are not selected for the presentation will be assigned for regular poster presentation. The selected poster presenters will be paid complimentary registration and 3 nights of hotel accommodation and local hospitality. The appointed judges of this session will listen to each talk and select one presentation for the award.
