Poster Presentation Preparation Information
This page provides information for people who are presenting posters at the DOE Hydrogen Program 2023 Annual Merit Review and Peer Evaluation Meeting (AMR).
See a general overview of the review process (applicable to reviewed posters).
Creating Your Poster Presentation
As a poster presenter, you are required to create the following files.
-
A PowerPoint file. For projects funded by DOE's Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office, this file must be created in PowerPoint following the instructions, format, and guidelines referenced in the applicable presentation template. Content requirements have been slightly modified from the 2022 AMR template, so please take note of the changes.
Download the applicable presentation template for your project (please follow the template unless instructed otherwise in your invitation letter):
- An Adobe PDF file of your PowerPoint presentation. Once your PowerPoint presentation is complete, you must follow the instructions and guidelines within the presentation template to create this file. Review your PDF file to confirm that all content from your PowerPoint file was completely captured within the PDF during conversion. The PDF including the Reviewer-Only slides will be made available to reviewers in PeerNet if applicable. A PDF version without Reviewer-Only slides will be available for attendees at the meeting and posted on the Hydrogen Program website after the meeting.
Name your poster presentation files using the name provided to you in your original notification email: (proj#)_(PI last name)_2023_p.
Do not include any information that is proprietary or confidential in your presentation. Make sure any material used from subcontractors and project partners meets this criterion. If copyrighted material is included, it must be used with permission and attributed properly. Please submit the written copyright permission along with the poster presentation.
Submitting Your Poster Presentation
Deadline extended! Submit your presentation to ORAU by April 14, 2023.
To submit your presentation, please use this Google Form to upload the PowerPoint and PDF files for your presentation: DOE Hydrogen Program 2023 AMR Presentation Submission Form.
If you have any issues with the submission form, request an alternative delivery option by sending an email to ORAU at H2AMR@orau.org.
ORAU will review your poster presentation after it is submitted and will contact you if changes are needed. If you plan to include review cycles with the DOE manager overseeing your project, please make sure those review cycles are completed before submitting the presentation to ORAU.
Once your presentation has been approved by ORAU, you will receive an email from ORAU with more information about presenting at the AMR.
Schedule Overview
Presenters will be notified via email with the times and dates of their poster presentations. In addition, the agenda page provides the time and date for each presentation. Please refer to it frequently as information is subject to change.
At the Review Meeting
All poster presenters are encouraged to attend the poster session in person. For projects that are being reviewed, we strongly encourage you to attend your poster session or to send a designated presenter to answer reviewer questions if you cannot attend. (Note: there is no virtual attendance option for the poster sessions. Virtual attendees will only be able to access PDFs of the poster presentation slides through the meeting website.) If you have any questions about the process or have any special needs, please contact ORAU at H2AMR@orau.org.
You will be provided with a poster board on which to mount your poster presentation at the meeting. Each poster board is eight feet wide and four feet tall with a felt surface that accepts push pins or Velcro. Push pins will be provided for your convenience.
You must bring a printed copy of your poster presentation with you to the AMR. It is recommended that you print your poster presentation slides on letter-size paper for hanging on your assigned poster board. If you prefer, you may create a large, one-sheet poster for presentation at the meeting; however, you must still submit your poster in PDF and PowerPoint slide formats according to the presentation instructions.
All poster presentations submitted to ORAU will be made available to meeting attendees through the AMR's virtual meeting platform during the meeting.
After the Review Meeting
All presentations (oral and poster) will be posted in the AMR presentation database on the Hydrogen Program website after the AMR. A report containing the results of the Program and subprogram reviews will be published on the Hydrogen Program website approximately three to four months following the AMR.
