Frequently asked questions

Who can submit an abstract?

The aim of CHRD is to involve and highlight the work of all researchers investigating pediatric health and disease in Manitoba. 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 an abstract must register for CHRD. 

What can I expect at the awards dinner?

At this year’s awards dinner, you will be welcomed into the York Ballroom by the musical stylings of the Luminous String Quartet, a Winnipeg based musical quartet that offers a unique and eclectic sound. There will also be a photo booth available for you to take a commemorative photo to remember our 20th anniversary dinner by! Our keynote speakers this year include CHRIM’s Dr. Kelly Russell and Simon the Scientist, an 11-year old Cree boy from Opaskwayak Cree Nation. We’ll end off our evening with multiple award presentations in various categories.

Reminder- the awards dinner is included in your registration, no need for an additional dinner ticket. If you are registered for the conference but will not be joining us for dinner, please let us know by emailing apascoe@chrim.ca

How are abstracts categorized?

Abstracts will be categorized in 3 themes: Basic Science, Clinical, and Community Health/Policy. Abstracts will be evaluated by a programming committee to determine final selection for presentation and will be programmed in a featured poster session.

Authors of the top 3 abstracts in each category will also be invited to compete in the Dr. GoodBear’s Den oral presentation competition.

What happens after abstracts are submitted?

All abstracts submitted will be entered into the CHRD poster competition. Participants will need to present their poster at the Poster Session Wine & Cheese event, held from 3:00-6:00PM on Wednesday, October 23 at the Brodie Atrium, University of Manitoba Bannatyne Campus.

A panel of visiting and local scientific leaders will select a gold, silver or bronze cash award winner in each of the 6 trainee categories: Undergraduate, Masters or PhD students, Post-Doctoral Fellows, Residents, and Research Associates/Technicians/Allied Health Professional.

What is Dr. GoodBear’s Den?

Dr. GoodBear’s Den oral presentations will be ranked by an awards panel that includes our CHRD invited speakers. A gold cash award will be given to the top participant based on the quality of their presentation and the impact of their research.

What accessibility options are available at Child Health Research Days?
