Undergraduate and graduate student abstracts are requested for the Student Poster Session. Student status must be explicitly noted at the beginning of the abstract, indicating BSN, Masters, or Doctoral level of study at the time the project or paper was completed, as well as their anticipated date of educational program completion and earned degree. Students should address the focal areas and abstract content requirements noted above. All students whose posters are accepted will receive special recognition at a Student Reception at the APHA Annual Meeting. Awards will be given for the winning posters in the categories of Undergraduate, Master’s and Doctoral level student submissions. CALL FOR ABSTRACTS FOR "NEW INVESTIGATOR SYMPOSIUM" The Research Committee of the PHN Section invites doctoral candidates to submit research abstracts that spotlight public health related research and links to the theme of the meeting "Politics, Policy and Public Health.” PHN researchers are sought whose work demonstrates a promise for the future and who, if selected, are willing to travel to Washington, DC to present their paper. Applicants for the New Investigator Symposium must explicitly state their interest in being considered for the New Investigator Symposium. A New Investigator is defined as “a nurse with an earned doctorate in nursing, public health, or a related discipline who submits for presentation at the 135th Annual APHA meeting an abstract based on the nurse’s recent dissertation work completed prior to the conference and during the 2006-2007 academic year.” The abstract must include a purpose, methods, findings, conclusions, name of dissertation chair, name of university at which doctorate earned, and date of graduation. The Research Committee of the PHN Section, chaired by Dr. Jo Anne Bennett,RN,PhD, will conduct a “blind peer review” of all abstracts and develop the New Investigator Symposium. |
