Frequently asked questions
We invite trainees at all levels (Undergraduate, Masters or PhD Students, Post-Doctoral Fellows, Residents) and research staff (Research Associates/Technicians/Allied Health Professionals) to submit an abstract of their work.
All those who wish to submit must be registered for CHRD before submitting an abstract.
Abstracts will be grouped into training categories:
· Undergraduate
· Masters
· PhD
· Post-Doctoral
· Residents
· Non-Trainees
**Groups may be merged if there are too few submissions for the purpose of maintain adequate competition.
Abstracts will also be categorized in 3 themes:
· Basic Science
· Clinical
· Community Health/Policy.
All submitted abstracts will be included in the CHRD Poster Competition, provided space remains available. While we currently have a large capacity for posters, please note that space may fill up with a high volume
of submissions. If we reach maximum capacity, we will prioritize space for trainees. This also may require limiting presenting one poster per student.
Participants will present their poster at the CHRD Poster Competition, held from 3:00 – 6:00 PM on Tuesday, October 21st at the Brodie Atrium, University of Manitoba Bannatyne Campus.
Participants are expected to remain present at their poster for the full duration of the session. There will be a minimum of 2-3 judges reviewing your poster. Judges will introduce themselves when they arrive, take a moment to view the poster in detail and then notify participant when to proceed with the presentation.
It will consist of a 5-minute presentation of the poster, delivered in person to 2-3 judges. The judges will follow up with 3 minutes of Q&A.
Dr. GoodBear’s Den oral presentations will be ranked by an awards panel.
A gold cash award will be given to the top participant based on the quality of their presentation and the impact of their research.
Assuming there’s an adequate number of submissions within each training category, there will be a Gold, Silver and Bronze awarded for each category, and winners will receive a cash prize.
The “People’s Choice” award for best poster will be voted on by those in attendance at the poster session via printed ballot.
The weighted scoring criteria for selection of award winners is 25% towards the abstract submission and the remaining 75% from the poster & presentation.
Award recipients will be announced during the Awards Dinner on Thursday October 23 rd, 2025. Attendance is required to receive an award.
