Honors and Award Recipients

One of the main objectives of the DIS SIG is to amplify and celebrate the work of our members. We have historically had three award opportunities, where a jury of SIG members and student members reviews applications and recognizes stellar work in dissemination and implementation science:

DIS-SIG Student Poster Award

The Student Poster Award is an annual honor given to a student member whose work is presented at DIS SIG's table at the annual ABCT SIG Poster Expo. Selection is based on a peer review scoring process to ensure the highest quality work is recognized. Posters first-authored by DIS SIG student members will be considered for the DIS SIG Student Award for excellence in research. From this initial call for submissions, we will select between three finalists. All three finalists will be asked to submit their posters approximately 3 weeks before the conference for judging to assist in the final ranking of our first, second, and third place winners. The awards are presented at the business meeting and include a cash award and certificate.
