Industry Sponsored Posters

NAPNAP will be accepting abstracts for industry-sponsored posters for the 2011 Annual Conference, to be held in March 23-26, 2011, in Baltimore, MD.   More information to follow - check back!

Application, Review and Selection Process

The industry-sponsored poster abstracts are reviewed by the Research Committee, but at a later time than the Research/Evidence Based/Practice Innovation abstracts.  These abstracts and related posters depict the outcomes of research that has been sponsored by industry.  Industry Sponsored posters are excluded from the competitive judging process.  A fee is associated with submission and review of these abstracts. 

Identification of Industry-Sponsored

Industry sponsored posters are clearly identified at the NAPNAP conference by signage and by displaying them in an area separate from the educational posters. Industry sponsored posters will be displayed in the NAPNAP Exhibit Hall and are available for viewing only during open exhibit hours.

Not Sure if Your Research/Project is Industry Sponsored?

If the principal investigator received some unrestricted support for a project, but maintained full control over the design, implementation, and analysis of a project, it is not “industry sponsored”. An example of this would be a NAPNAP Immunization grant sponsored project.  If the researchers or presenters are employees of a pharmaceutical or related corporation, or the project was otherwise directed or solely funded by a corporation, the poster is considered to be industry-sponsored.
