The following significant awards will be chosen by a panel of judges from presented abstracts and full papers at the 2019 AAIR Forum.
Best Presenter Prize:
This prize will be awarded to the best presenter at the Forum and will be judged by the Forum delegates. All delegates who present at the Forum are eligible for the Best Presenter prize including workshop presenters. The winner receives payment of their registration fee for the next AAIR Forum or AAIR SIG Forum and AAIR membership until the end of the following year. The costs of travel and accommodation must be met by the award recipient (or his/her institution). The Forum registration prize will be transferrable upon approved application to the Executive Committee.
Best New Presenter:
Participation in this program is open to people working in the area of institutional research who have not previously presented at any AAIR Forum (as declared on their abstract submission form). The winner receives payment of their registration fee for the next AAIR Forum or AAIR SIG Forum and AAIR membership until the end of the following year. The costs of travel and accommodation must be met by the award recipient (or his/her institution). The Forum registration prize will be transferrable upon approved application to the Executive Committee.
Institutional Research Award:
Presenters must self-nominate to be considered for the Institutional Research Award. Anyone who submits a full paper will automatically be eligible to be considered for the award. This prize will be determined by an appointed group of relevant referees who will assess nominated presentations and full papers. The Institutional Research award will be announced at the conclusion of the Annual Forum. The prize of $2000 is designed to assist the winner with travel to the US to present their winning paper at the AIR Forum the following year. The award will consist of $1000 from AAIR plus the $1000 AIR Affiliated Organisational Travel Grant. The award is non transferrable and the AIR travel grant is forfeited if the recipient is unable to travel and present at the next AIR Forum.
