Poster Awards

 

ABRF Poster Awards, sponsored by Waters Corporation

Waters Corporation is sponsoring prizes for the four best posters presented at ABRF 2012 that contain original research.  The ABRF Education Committee will review all poster abstracts submitted to the meeting and select a limited number of candidates for award consideration.  Lead authors of the candidate posters will be invited to submit a PDF of their posters by March 5, 2012 and prepare a short (5 minute) presentation of their poster to the Education Committee on Sunday, March 18, during the poster session.  The authors of the four posters judged to be the best will be invited to give a 15 min presentation on Tuesday, March 20 and be awarded the Waters Corporation award certificate which includes $500 as reimbursement for their travel costs. To enter this poster competition, please check the Waters check box when submitting your abstract.
