Description
The American Association for Anatomy (AAA), with sponsorship from Anatomical Sciences Education, offers this award as part of its Student/Postdoc Competition Awards at Anatomy Connected. It recognizes poster presentations related to education or teaching by eligible students and postdoctoral researchers. Research-focused, non-descriptive work receives priority, although descriptive submissions are encouraged.
Abstracts undergo blind review and scoring to select finalists for an on-site competition. Scientific and educational research presentations are evaluated using the scientific process, emphasizing a clear knowledge gap, testable research aim, organized methods, results, and evidence-supported significance. Finalists present their posters to judges at the meeting, and winners are announced at the Closing Awards Ceremony.
