Best Awards
BEST PAPER AWARD was instituted in 1988 to
recognize and promote quality contributions to scholarly research and
writing among professionals who contribute and present papers at the
annual NEAIR conference.
BEST FIRST PAPER AWARD
was established in 1998 to encourage and recognize new NEAIR conference
presenters who demonstrate commendable research in their first scholarly
papers.
BEST IR
& PRACTITIONER REPORT AWARD
was created in 2005
to recognize the many reports and practitioner papers that are written by
NEAIR members. It is intended as a venue for those reports and
presentations that are not necessarily suited for submission to the Best
Paper Award, which tends to include more scholarly research.
RECOGNITION FOR "BEST" AWARDS -
The paper(s) selected to receive a Best
Paper or a Best First Paper award will be published in the Proceedings
of the Conference and identified as a Paper Award winner.
The winner(s)
receive(s) a $200 award and a waiver for the next year’s NEAIR conference
registration fee (but not the membership fee). The monetary award and
fee waiver are split among authors if there is more than one on the
paper. A letter of notification and congratulations from the President
of NEAIR will be sent to the winner(s) with their President or head of
the organization and the immediate supervisor copied on the
correspondence. The winner(s) is/are formally announced at the next year’s
NEAIR annual conference and automatically offered a presentation time
in the next year’s conference program.

Award recipient(s) is/are also invited to present the paper at AIR’s Best
Regional Papers session. The author(s) is/are not obligated to accept the
