Delta Omega Scientific Poster Competition

The Delta Omega Scientific Poster Competition is an annual event to give students the opportunity to display their research and receive recognition for their work. The Delta Omega Alpha Chapter gives cash awards for first ($500), second ($300) and third ($200) prizes in two categories: applied research (epidemiologic public health research) and laboratory research (basic science research). The Chapter selects one of the first-place winners to present his or her poster at the annual APHA meeting.

Eligibility
The scientific poster competition is open to students and fellows enrolled in the School who recently have engaged in a noteworthy scholarly investigation or scientific study during the period of enrollment. Approval from your faculty adviser is recommended but not required. Priority should be given to recent work within the department, including work still in progress, for which the student or fellow has had primary responsibility (i.e., qualifies as first author). Thesis research for a master's or doctoral degree at the school is eligible for presentation, either as a report on work in progress or as a final report. For completed work (e.g., a thesis already defended), the date of completion of the investigation or study should be no greater than 18 months prior to the poster competition. However, all of the School's enrollees are eligible for selection by the department for this competition, including special, limited, and part-time students, and especially postdoctoral and visiting fellows. Alumni participants may be selected by the departments, provided the work was initiated or completed while they were enrolled as students or fellows during the 18 months prior to the competition. The student submitting must be the first author. The student should prepare a short statement indicating the scope of the scientific work he or she did in preparation of this poster.
