FAMPS proposes to host a poster session at the 2025 Annual Meeting, similar to the one hosted at 2024 meeting.  The objective of the poster session is to provide a forum for researchers with more limited professional networks, like graduate students and beginning faculty, to be recognized for innovative and high-quality research in poster sessions.  These researchers might be less likely to participate in track sessions, and thus attend the annual meeting, than researchers with stronger professionally networks.  This recognition could also be helpful to some researchers at the beginning stages of their career.

The details for the poster session are the following:

• FAMPS will provide three awards:
  • Two (2) $250 prizes for the best posters in which the lead author is a graduate student
  • One (1) $250 prize for the best poster in which the lead author has a doctorate degree
• Requirements:  The lead author for each submission must be a FAMPS member and must attend the 2025 AAEA & WAEA Joint Annual Meeting in-person.
• Submissions:  AAEA will send notifications of accepted posters in March.  Once this occurs, FAMPS will communicate in late March/early April to those with accepted posters they can participate in the FAMPS poster contest.
• Judging:  FAMPS leadership will identify three researchers to judge the competition.
• Logistics:  The poster competition judging will occur on Monday during the lunch break from 11:30am – 1:00pm in the poster hall. Posters accepted in the FAMPS competition will have a symbol/tag on their poster board.

The deadline to apply is extended to June 30, 2025.
