Eligibility: Membership in the CAG + student OR supervisor must be member of the HHCSG at the time of the CAG meeting.

All papers delivered by elligible graduate students at the CAG meeting are adjudicated by at least two members who are post-grads.  Elligible students or their supervisors will please identify themselves to the specialty group chair prior to the CAG meeting.  A cash award (value between $60-100 depending on the group's finances) is given to the best paper(s).
