Final posters should display the question, hypothesis, data, and results. Panels feature a 90 min discussion with 3-4 participants exploring perspectives on an important policy issue (save 30 min for questions). Papers are better for completed research, whereas posters are ideal for feedback on work-in-progress. Posters are prominently displayed at the event and provide an opportunity for feedback and discussion with conference attendees. All proposals follow the same review process defined below.
