We encourage full time graduate students to submit their survey methodology-related paper proposals to our sig through the aera submission process. after they are accepted, they contact Dr. Tatia Prieto, Chair, SIG graduate student award committee, for consideration in the final selection process. The preliminary selection of candidates is based on the results of the aera proposal review process, and the final selection is made on the quality of the full papers.
