Since 1992 the ICEHS Section has held a Student Paper Award completion to foster and reward quality research efforts among students involved in the field. The highly competitive process involves having an abstract accepted for oral or poster presentation and, subsequently, submitting a paper in a format prepared for submission to a peer-reviewed journal. The contest is sponsored, in part, by: Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety, Hopkinton, Mass.
