The IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society sponsors a paper competition for EMBS Student Members (Graduates and Undergraduates) with support from the National Science Foundation.  Students should submit their entry to the Conference as a Contributed Paper by 15th March 2012. Each student's Faculty Advisor will be required to endorse their student's submission by submitting a Nomination Form between 27th March and 30th April, 2012. Failure to submit the accompanying Nomination Form within the submission window will invalidate the respective student paper submission for the student paper competition.

Competition Deadline for Submission: 15th March 2012

Submissions are evaluated on their originality, scientific merits, structure, and clarity of composition. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and finalists selected based on the merits of submissions and corresponding nominations. Finalists must attend the Conference and present their papers as either a platform or poster presentation and also at a special session for the Student Paper Competition. Each Finalist will receive free conference registration and partial travel support. First, second and third place winners will be selected and these winners will receive monetary awards.
