As a Poster Abstract Presenter at the 14th International Family Nursing Conference in August, we invite you to submit your poster as a pdf for consideration for a Poster Award. This is not required; however, it is a good opportunity to highlight your work and receive recognition for an excellent poster. Read the important information below to help you prepare your poster abstract pdf for judging and respond accordingly.  

 

The Committee Chairs of the IFNA Research, Education and Practice Committees have
designed a Poster Award competition to highlight exceptional posters. Judging will be done electronically and will be guided by the quality of responses to the following judging criteria:

• Purpose and background/significance; describes gap, target group; applies to overall project, educational intervention, study, or policy work.
• Model / framework, if used, clearly guides project, policy, or research aim and results are linked.
• Soundness of methods and design: whether research, educational strategy, quality improvement, methodological, theoretical, synthesis, or policy.
• Analysis of data: flows from research questions/purpose & data displayed.
• Results/outcomes: clearly stated, linked to purpose, and follow data analysis.
• Conclusion: What do the findings mean for family health, family nursing, and family policy?
• Innovation and significance.
• Implications for future practice, research, education, and policy explored.
• Display holds viewer's attention.
• Text, graphics, pictures, and charts are visually appealing and relevant/contribute to the topic and the audience.
• Overall content is logically arranged/organized to depict the process.  

There will be strict adherence to the submission schedule to ensure sufficient time for poster judging by the panel of judges.

Poster Award winners will be announced Wednesday morning at the 14th International Family Nursing Conference and will be displayed both Wednesday and Thursday.
