Onsite Awards
The M&M meeting's co-sponsoring societies confer competitively judged awards at the meeting.
MSA Student Poster Awards
We believe poster presentations are an excellent format for all participants to engage in intensive discussion with other researchers in the field. To especially encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity and submit papers for poster presentation, MSA provides cash awards* to the most outstanding student posters (first author) each day in several categories. *Cash awards are presented via ACH/wire transfer.
