PHEHP Student Award Contest
Submission Deadline: Monday, April 15, 2013
The Public Health Education and Health Promotion (PHEHP) section of the American Public Health Association (APHA) announces a call for abstracts to a dedicated student poster session at this year's annual meeting, being held in Boston, MA November 2nd – 6th, 2012. Students are encouraged to submit abstracts that relate to the conference theme, "Think Global Act Local," as well as other themes related to public health education and health promotion. Student awardees can be active at the doctoral, masters, or undergraduate level. Ten student awardees will be invited to present their work (poster format) at the conference and will receive a certificate for their participation. Students are also eligible for a $50 stipend if all required information is provided. The criteria for selection of awardees can be found at the end of this document. We are interested in student abstracts that show an individual student’s work on an applied research or evaluation project, abstracts designed to document the community health education and/or health communication work of a student or group of students or projects that contribute to the translation of research. The student submitter must be the first author. Multiple student authors are acceptable, but only the first author will receive the stipend and certificate. Faculty members may not be the first author. The student author or an author from the student group must register for and attend the conference to accept the award. Abstracts are limited to 250 words, must include at least 2 learning objectives, and must be submitted along with a faculty endorsement letter by 5 p.m. (PST) on Monday, April 15, 2013.
