The ISPOR Best Research Podium and Poster Presentation Awards were established in 1998 to recognize the scientific merit of podium and poster presentations of the ISPOR Annual International Meetings, Annual European Congresses, Asia-Pacific and Latin America Conferences.
At the ISPOR 4th Asia-Pacific Conference, the ISPOR Research Presentation Award judges evaluated 40 podium presentations and nominated posters from 290 poster presentations. All podium presentations are considered for an award. Poster presentations in the top 10%, based on abstract review score, are considered and eligible for a poster presentation award.
Evaluations of scientific merit were based upon the following criteria:
Background provides appropriate perspective / context for the subject
Objectives / research questions are clearly stated
Research design / methods / modeling is appropriate and transparent (scores on this will determine winners in case of ties)
Data sources and/or sampling procedures are clear and appropriate
Data analyses are appropriate
Research objectives are met/addressed
Implications of findings are discussed
Factual information is kept separate from interpretations or implications
