Student Research Awards
At each year's AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo, the association recognizes outstanding research by students and post-doctoral fellows.
In our Student Poster Contest, judges evaluate students' research abstracts on scientific quality, clarity of display, and presentation style. Winners receive cash prizes as follows: first prize $500; second prize $250; and two honorable mention prizes at $125 each.
At the Student Oral Presentation Contest, four students with the top-ranked research abstracts present their studies before a panel of judges. Competition criteria include scientific quality and organization and quality of the presentation and accompanying slides. Winners receive cash prizes as follows: first prize $1,000; second prize $500; and two honorable mention prizes at $250 each.
