The Poster Award celebrates early career research integrity professionals presenting their research through posters at WCRIs.


Posters are nominated for awards based on submitted abstracts. A jury will observe and score the presentation for each of the nominated posters during the Poster Walks. Awards will be given to the nominated poster presentations with the highest combined mean scores.

Three Poster Awards will be granted for early career professionals (<5 years experience in research integrity). Only posters where the author who submitted the poster makes a presentation during scheduled Poster Walk Sessions will qualify for awards. In addition to these two requirements, awards will be based on the following criteria (scale of 1-5 for each criterion):

  • Academic Quality – Originality; Methodology; Consideration of pertinent literature; Relevance to the conference theme; and Contribution to advancing the field.
  • Presentation skill – Areas to consider include: Clarity of presentation; Demonstration of knowledge and proficiency in answering questions during the Q&A discussion

Poster Walk Moderators will tour posters for Poster Walk Sessions. Poster Walk Moderators will be drawn from the Poster Committee and other WCRI committees, as well as previous poster award recipients.
