Student Poster Competition
The National Initiative for the Care of the Elderly is pleased to sponsor a poster competition for students attending the Annual NICE Knowledge Exchange in Toronto in June 2010.
Submission to the poster competition is open to all students who plan to attend the Annual NICE Knowledge Exchange,
including (but not limited to) students of the NICE Student Mentorship
Program. Students
will
have the opportunity to participate in a poster competition, presenting
their graduate studies and/or research in aging.
All submitted abstracts
will be reviewed and successful applicants will be notified to present
their
poster to the audience during a 'poster viewing' session during the
Annual NICE
Knowledge Exchange, June 28 and 29, 2010.
Posters
will then be judged with students in attendance (mandatory) by three
judges at
appointed times. Judges will base their assessment on the following
criteria
(criteria 1 to 4 being equally weighted):
- Quality of
the Research (clarity of theoretical perspectives, method, sample,
findings, discussion, limitations)
- Merit of
the Research (validity of conclusions, relevancy to field of aging,
potential for application)
- Quality of
Abstract and Content (coherence, logical flow, grammar, spelling,
concise
abstract)
- Demonstrated
Understanding of the Student (recognition of limits of the study,
familiar
with research context)
- Special
Merit marks will be awarded for innovative, novel research
projects.
A $250 prize will be awarded to the best
Undergraduate, Masters,
and PhD poster. The winning posters will be posted on the NICE website.
To enter the
competition, please fill out the forms
using the attached documents. The deadline for submitting your
registration form has closed. Please apply next year.
Please note that NICE cannot cover the cost of printing posters nor travel to the conference.
