Description
The American Association for Anatomy (AAA) recognizes undergraduate students presenting research posters at Anatomy Connected, its annual meeting. Also called the Undergraduate Poster Competition Award, this award is part of AAA’s Student/Postdoc Competition Awards. It provides recognition through certificates and monetary awards, with first-place funding combining an honorarium and meeting-expense reimbursement.
The competition emphasizes scientific quality, the importance of the work, and the scientific process. Research-focused, non-descriptive presentations receive priority, although descriptive submissions are encouraged. Abstracts undergo blind review and scoring to select finalists for judged poster presentations. Reviewers consider the study’s background, knowledge gap, testable objective, methods, results, discussion, and supported significance.
