AAAM Student Research Symposium held in Quebec City |
|
|
The Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine (AAAM) is a scientific professional organization devoted entirely to traffic related injury control. Its multidisciplinary membership represents such diverse backgrounds as medicine, behavioral research, biomechanics, engineering, epidemiology, statistics, education, law, and public policy, and combines clinical, research, academic and administrative backgrounds. The AAAM Scientific Program Committee (SPC) invites abstracts of prospective presentations for the 2013 AAAM Student Research Symposium.
The goal of the symposium is to give students early in their careers the opportunity to present talks on work in progress to an experienced research audience composed of AAAM members from diverse disciplines. The Student Research Symposium seeks presentations on works in progress, methods papers, and smaller studies. Abstracts are sought in all areas of traffic related injury prevention and control including automotive medicine, behavioral research science, biomechanics, engineering, epidemiology, statistics, education, law, and public policy. We strongly encourage students to continue to submit completed studies of a scope equivalent to a peer-reviewed journal publication for consideration for presentation at the main conference. The deadline for submission to the main conference has passed for 2013. (Abstracts will be due for the 2014 main conference by January 7, 2014.)
| GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION.
Prospective presenters should submit a three-page extended
abstracts describing their study. Only abstracts submitted online
using the official template (see link below) provided will be
considered. The deadline for submission to the Student Symposium
is April 15, 2013. All current undergraduate, graduate, and medical
students are eligible to submit abstracts.
Abstracts must provide the following information: (1) title,
(2) research question/objective, (3) methods, (4) data sources
(include sample size), (5) results, and (6) novelty and traffic
safety implications of this study, i.e., the abstract should
describe how the results relate to reducing crashes, injuries
and fatalities.
The general criteria for consideration of abstracts are originality,
clarity and concise presentation. Also, research will be additionally
evaluated for purpose of study, methodology/design, results
and conclusions. Abstracts exceeding three pages will not be
considered. Images may be included in the abstract. Sufficient
quantitative data and statistical tests must be presented
and a conclusion must be supported by your results. The review
committee will place emphasis on having diverse representation
from all aspects of injury prevention pre-crash, crash and
post-crash research. All abstracts selected for presentation
at the Student Symposium will be offered oral presentations. |
