Purpose of the Student Paper Competition:
The purpose of the Injury Control and Emergency Health Services Student Paper Competition Award is to foster and reward quality research efforts among students involved in the field.
Background:
The Student Paper Competition was implemented at the 1992 Annual Meeting of the American Public Health Association. In 2004, one or more awards will be presented for the thirteenth time at the Annual Meeting.
Requirements for Submitting Applications and Criteria for the Award:
Applicants must submit an abstract according to the APHA abstract guidelines published for the ICEHS (to the person/address identified). Along with their abstract, applicants must submit a letter stating the school and program in which they are enrolled, the degree pursued, the expected date of completion, and the name of their advisor; applicants who have completed their programs within the last year, and have not previously presented the same data at a professional meeting or published the data, are welcome to participate.
Following notice of acceptance of the abstract for either oral or poster presentation, by the Scientific Program Chair, applicants must send a completed manuscript, organized and presented according to standard journal format (e.g., American Journal of Public Health, American Journal of Epidemiology, Annals of Emergency Medicine, or other pertinent peer-reviewed journal) and four blinded copies that are to be received by Sept. 1; submit your application to Dr. Gerberich, as identified below. With the submission of the final paper, a statement signed by the advisor must identify any co-authors involved and the proportion of effort contributed by the student; the student must be identified as the primary author.
The reviews for this competition will be conducted by at least three external peer-reviewers. It is anticipated that one or more awards will be presented at the APHA Annual Meeting.
Students must be primary or secondary members of the ICEHS Section of APHA to participate in this competition. Membership must be confirmed prior to the annual American Public Health Association meeting.
