Applied Public Health Statistics (APHA) Conference 2023

The Applied Public Health Statistics (APHS) Section invites abstract submissions for student research poster and oral presentation sessions for the APHA 2023 Conference, Atlanta, GA, Nov 12-15. Students wishing to be considered for these sessions should submit an abstract (by March 31, 2023) and a 2-page summary of their paper (also by May 31, 2023). 

In order to be eligible for the student competition you must be a student at the time of the conference in November 2023 (those graduating in May/June 2023 are not eligible). When submitting your abstract at apha.confex.com/apha/2023/aphs.htm, please submit it under the session “Student oral presentations” or “Student poster presentations”, even if it may be thematically related to other topics on the topic list. Students interested in competing in the student oral paper competition and have questions should contact Dr. Wenjun Li (Wenjun_Li [at] uml [dot] edu) and copy Dr. Guang Xu (guangxu [at] marian [dot] edu). The two-page summary of the paper should be submitted online at tinyurl.com/5ejxhnwf or using the attached QR Code, with a letter from a faculty member attesting to the author’s student status.

If a student abstract was submitted for oral presentation but is not accepted for an oral presentation, it will automatically be considered as a poster submission. All accepted student abstracts will be considered for the Student Research Competition. Three finalists will receive awards and travel support to present their paper during APHA 2023 conference. An award will be given for the Best Student Oral Presentation. Attached, please find more details about this opportunity. 

Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions.
