About the Edward E. Hunt, Jr. and Phyllis Eveleth Student Awards

The E. E. Hunt and Phyllis Eveleth Awards recognize two graduate students who have presented an outstanding paper or poster at the Annual Meeting. Papers/posters are evaluated on the basis of the quality of the research, analysis and presentation by the HBA Publications Committee.

2. The paper/poster is based on novel analysis and interpretation of primary data (collected by the student and/or a co-author/co-authors) and/or secondary data (published or unpublished data collected by someone other than the author[s]). 

3. The candidate for the award is the primary contributor to: a) project conception, b) data collection (if primary data), and/or c) data analysis.
