How Winners Are Selected
A group of faculty and research professionals volunteer as judges each year. They use consistent scoring tools to evaluate each poster and oral presentation on clarity, scientific quality, and contribution to child health research.
Every entry is reviewed by more than one judge, and the highest‑scoring presentations receive awards in their respective categories.
Award Categories
- Basic Science Oral — oral presentations in basic science
- Clinical Oral — oral presentations in clinical research
