*Call for participation—ICHI 2016 Doctoral Consortium*
*Deadline extended and travel award information updated!*
*SCOPE AND FORMAT OF THE DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM*
We cordially invite doctoral students to submit extended abstracts to the Doctoral Consortium (DC) of the IEEE Conference on Healthcare Informatics (ICHI 2016).
The doctoral consortium offers a supportive learning opportunity for doctoral students who pursue research on health informatics problems. Participants will discuss their work in progress and receive feedback and guidance from the ICHI Doctoral Consortium mentors. To ensure that all participants have the opportunity to present their work, all doctoral students whose extended abstract is accepted will be scheduled for a rapid-fire talk where each participant has 5 minutes, with auto-advancing slides, to present a synopsis of their work. These rapid overviews will be followed by a poster session where participants and mentors can discuss research in greater details. Selected participants may also be invited to give a longer oral presentation. The consortium will close with a panel or round-table discussion on topics relevant to doctoral students (e.g., dissertation proposal, dissertation execution, job search, and grant seeking).
All topics described in the Call for Papers are eligible for extended abstract submissions.
The DC highly encourages students from under-represented groups to participate, such as female students and ethnically minority students.
*SUBMISSION PROCESS*
To be considered for the Doctoral Consortium, students are requested to submit the following items using the Precision Conference submission site for the conference (https://precisionconference.com/~ichi/):
1. A 1-page cover letter justifying what the students hope to gain by attending the DC; and,
2. A 1-page abstract of a research project (ongoing or planned) in the IEEE format.
Please follow the instructions in the submission page, to submit your abstracts.
All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled electronically. Submissions must adhere to the following formatting instructions:
· Submissions must adhere to the IEEE Proceedings Format available for LaTex and Word. Changing the template’s font size, margins, inter-column spacing, or line spacing is prohibited. Each extended abstract must be submitted as a single PDF file, formatted for 8.5″ x 11″ paper.
· Submissions should not list keywords, general terms, and categories and subject descriptions. In addition, submissions should not have the copyright notice located at the bottom of the left column of the first page of the IEEE Proceedings template.
All extended abstract submissions for the doctoral consortium will be formally reviewed by the ICHI Program Committee to ensure every accepted submission is appropriate for ICHI.
The conference organizers will work on ensuring that the doctoral consortium is well-attended and has a vibrant discussion environment.
*TRAVEL AWARD*
IEEE ICHI 2016 will support a number of graduate students from U.S. institutions to participate in the Conference. All Doctoral Consortium participants from U.S. institutions are eligible to apply for the travel award. High priorities will be given to those from under-represented groups. Details on how to apply for this award will be available after July 31st.
