The ICTS has awarded five awards to investigators in the ICTS’ 2nd annual virtual poster display and contest.
As part of the 5th annual ICTS Symposium, 38 posters were submitted and reviewed by 17 ICTS faculty from Washington University in St. Louis, University of Missouri – Columbia, and Saint Louis University.
Posters showcased translational research and were categorized by early stage, clinical, or health services/population health. Each poster was evaluated by three reviewers and were judged in areas of significance, approach, innovation, visual appeal and for long-term, short-term, regional and national impact.
Each awardee had the opportunity to display their poster at the Symposium and speak with attendees about their research. Winners will receive a $500 prize.
