The Research Forum Poster Session will take place at the Academy’s Annual Meeting. All qualifying authors will stand by their presentations in order to answer questions.

Eight finalists will be selected (four for basic research and four for clinical research) to present their research to a panel of judges at the Annual Meeting. Two prizes will be awarded, one in basic research and one in clinical research, both for $500. The awards are based on the abstract (25%) and oral presentation (75%).
