Members of the Program Committee will not be made aware of abstracts that are accompanied by GCF Award applications and these abstracts will be considered competitively employing the usual criteria. As soon as the Program Committee has selected its program, all qualified abstracts that were submitted with a GCF Award application will be submitted to the GCF Awards Committee for review. All candidates who qualify for this award based on above criteria will automatically be included in the evaluation process. Each accepted applicant must submit a complete manuscript within the time frame stipulated by the Program Committee. Manuscripts will be distributed to the GCF Awards Committee for review prior to the meeting and a scoring sheet will be completed. The scoring will be based on study design, originality, scientific merit, importance to the field and presentation.
