Quality of the writing
Novelty of the research
Impact of the research on the advancement of knowledge in the research area, the health system, or the population of New Brunswick
Quality of the methodology
- Alignment with the theme of the Symposium: Powering Discovery Together
Poster Presentations:
Pending space availability, all poster presentation abstracts will be accepted for presentation at the 2024 Health Research Symposium, except if the abstract does not align with one of the CIHR pillars or the theme of the Symposium.

Oral Presentations:
Only the top six (6) abstracts in each category will be selected for an oral presentation during the 2024 Health Research Symposium. Candidates who would still like to present their work will be invited to deliver a poster presentation. Oral presentations should be no more than 15 minutes in length, leaving 5 minutes for questions. Detailed presentation guidelines will be distributed to successful candidates in advance of the 2024 Health Research Symposium.
