The Human Behavior and Evolution Society also recognizes scholarly contributions during the annual conference. The HBES Conference Awards include the Post-Doctoral Award, the New Investigator Award, and the Best Poster Award.

One is eligible for the Post-Doctoral Award up to five years post-Ph.D. One is eligible for the New Investigator Award if they were a gradaute student at the time of the work (see below).

Additionally, to be eligible for the New Investigator Award or the Post-Doctoral Award, individuals must submit a manuscript corresponding with the abstract they have submitted for a talk. Your manuscript can have co-authors, but you must be the first author on the manuscript, and the manuscript must predominantly describe your own work. Note that the manuscript can be “in prep” (e.g., a pre-print), under review, or accepted for publication. Submission will occur via conference organizers yearly.

All posters will be eligible for the Best Poster Award. You need not contact conference organizers to be considered for the Best Poster Award.

If you wish to be considered for the New Investigator Award or the Post-Doctoral Award, you need to indicate it in the Abstract submission form. And please upload your manuscript as a PDF file named "[last name].pdf".
