Please note, if you think your paper is eligible for more than one of these awards, please choose the award that you think is the best fit and apply for that one. The description of each award is provided below.
The SIG-IT Best Paper Award will be presented to the scholar with the best research paper already submitted to SIG-IT and accepted for presentation at the AERA Conference in any format (paper, poster, or roundtable). The award recipient will be given a plaque and a check for $350 at the SIG-IT Business meeting during the annual meeting. The SIG-IT Early Career Award will be presented to a deserving new scholar in the field who submits a paper that has not been either accepted for presentation or presented before.

The SIG-IT Best Student Paper Award will be presented to an emerging scholar who is currently a student and who has had his/her paper accepted by SIG-IT for the AERA Conference in any format (i.e., paper, poster, or roundtable). The purpose of the award is to help defray the costs associated with travel to the AERA conference and to continue to encourage student participation within SIG-IT. The award recipient will receive a check for $500 and a certificate.
