Past SRE Award WinnersMore about the MOA SRE competition How Does the Judging Process Work? Judges work in teams of at least three (3), and include at least one (1) osteopathic physician, one (1) researcher (may be practicing DO, MD or PhD with research experience), and at least one trainee (resident or student). Each team must, as a group, give an evaluation of each poster or oral presentation based on criteria established in four domains: 1. Presentation (organization/layout) 2. Introduction/ Background 3. Description of methods (data and analysis) 4. Discussion (overall clarity of thought) Submission Categories & Judges Scoring Rubric Do I Need to Have Research or Judging Experience to be a Judge? No. The MOA will provide experienced judges on each judging team to help train anyone who wants to participate. Our goal is to increase participation of students, residents, fellows and practicing physicians, in addition to the research community in Michigan. Categories 1. Basic Research 2. Clinical Research 3. Clinical Vignette or Case Report 4. Quality Improvement (QI), Patient Safety (PS), or High-Value Care (HVC) Preparing Your Abstract Submission For a good all-around resource for preparing to submit abstracts or posters, please visit: Judging Criteria Judges will assess each exhibit on multiple criteria established by the SRE Committee consistent with generally accepted standards for competitive scientific research displays, including presentation (organization/layout), appropriate introduction/background, clear description of methods, data and analysis, thoughtful discussion and overall clarity of thought. They will judge case presentations on a unique set of weighted criteria. Displays should be readily understood with or without the author present. The subject matter should be current and of interest to practicing clinicians. Although the committee encourages prospective studies, subject matter need not be limited to new research. Whenever possible the exhibit should promote osteopathic principles as they relate to the clinical situation or scientific aspect of the display. The concept of a research exhibit by definition means the display will be graphically interesting.
