Poster Call
2011 NCME Graduate Student Poster Session:
A Call for Proposals
General Information
The Graduate Student Issues Committee (GSIC) is pleased to announce the forthcoming Graduate Student Poster Session at the annual meeting of the NCME to be held in New Orleans, LA from April 7-11, 2011. The purpose of the poster session is to provide an opportunity for graduate students to share their work and receive feedback from both professionals and other graduate students.
Graduate students who wish to present a poster at this session are encouraged to submit a proposal to the GSIC. The committee is looking for proposals of completed research as well as work in progress. Work in progress does not necessarily have to be completed before the annual meeting. While NCME membership is not required to participate in the poster session, it is strongly encouraged. Both successful and unsuccessful applicants will receive notification by e-mail. Detailed instructions for the preparation of posters will be sent to successful applicants only.
The Proposal
Proposals should conform to a maximum of 1,500 words. Authors must indicate the word count in the top right-hand corner of the first page of the proposal. Any proposals over the 1,500 word limit will NOT be considered for review. Each proposal should include the following about the research: objective(s), theoretical framework, methods, results (if available), and educational significance.
Proposals will be evaluated by several reviewers using a blind peer review process. The criteria that will be used to evaluate the research proposals are the following: technical adequacy, relevance to practitioners, academics, and graduate students, potential contribution to the field, and professional articulation of the research problem.
You are allowed to submit multiple proposals to this poster session, but they should all be based on different research. You can only present one poster, no matter how many of your submissions are accepted. While you are allowed to work with your faculty on the research you submit, you are required to present the poster yourself.
Submission of the Proposal
The web site www.ncme.org will guide you through the submission of your proposal. This web site will begin accepting poster submissions from August 16, 2010. You do not need to complete your submission at one time; you can save what you have already submitted, examine it, and make changes to it over the submission period.
- Complete the required information fields on the poster proposal form on the NCME web site. The first author must be the graduate student who will be responsible for the poster and all associated correspondence. Be sure to complete a separate listing of any other authors’ names and affiliations, all typed as you would like them to appear in the program. If you already have a username and password from an NCME proposal in the regular sessions, you may use that login information to make your submission.
- Submit your poster title and proposal on the web site. Do not include information about authorship or institutional affiliation(s) in the proposal, so that the reviewer does not have access to any of this information. The proposal should include the word count and the sections mentioned above.
- Upload any formulas, graphs, or tables following the submission form.
- Submit the proposal by the deadline of October 1, 2010.
VERY IMPORTANT!
You are not allowed to present the same research at both NCME and AERA sessions, or at different NCME sessions. In other words, you have only one chance to have a particular research project evaluated at AERA and NCME. If you have already submitted your research to AERA or NCME for a poster or paper session, do not send it in to the GSIC poster session.
If you have any questions, please e-mail Chad Gotch at cgotch@wsu.edu.
Note: All applicants will be notified of decisions in December 2010.
