GTAP Conference Scholars Program

The goal of the GTAP Conference Scholars Program is to facilitate the integration of first-time student presenters into the GTAP Conference and Network by providing them the opportunity to engage in a professional research environment at a formative stage in their studies and careers. To achieve this goal, an advisor/advisee relationship will be established by the Center for Global Trade Analysis in an effort to help the advisee deliver a successful conference presentation during one of the GTAP Scholars Program sessions, while also offering an avenue to develop and foster professional relationships during and after the conference. In order to be eligible for the program, individuals must: be a current student that has not presented at the GTAP Conference before submit a letter of recommendation from an advising professor in support of their acceptance into the program letter should be addressed to the "GTAP Conference Scholars Program Committee" letter will be uploaded as a PDF document during the abstract submission process submit an abstract, which will go through the standard review process If the submitted abstract is accepted for presentation in one of the GTAP Scholars Program sessions, the student will be matched with an advisor, whose role is to review a draft of the advisee's PowerPoint presentation, engage the student in a dry-run of their delivery, and ultimately attend the student's presentation at the conference. The advisor will also help foster contacts between the student and professionals during the conference. Roles Advisee - Advisees, or first-time student presenters at the GTAP Conference, are given the option to participate in the scholars program at the time of their abstract submission. If they opt into the program and their abstract is accepted for presentation, they will be paired with an advisor based on common research interests and expertise, and present during one of the GTAP Scholars Program sessions. Advisor - The role of an advisor is to provide feedback to help their assigned advisee, a first-time student presenter at the GTAP Conference presenting in one of the GTAP Scholars Program sessions, deliver a successful presentation. The advisor is not expected to serve as a co-author, but to simply offer guidance by reviewing a draft of the PowerPoint, participating in a pre-conference “dry-run” of the presentation, and ultimately attending the session in which the advisee is presenting. In addition to counseling the advisee on delivering a successful presentation, the advisor will also help the advisee further engage with the GTAP Network by fostering professional contacts during the conference. Anyone interested in serving as an advisor should contact Ginger Batta (gbatta@purdue.edu). Advisors are expected to attend the conference. Program Timeline Pre-Conference Timeframe Center for Global Trade Analysis assigns and notifies advisors and advisees of their pairings and responsibilities Mid-April Advisee initiates contact with advisor to introduce themselves and their conference research/presentation providing their paper as background material (Advisor is not responsible for evaluating the paper, just the presentation) Post-pairing Advisee provides Advisor with draft conference presentation April 30 Advisor provides Advisee with comments on the presentation May 15 Advisee incorporates suggested changes (as needed) to the presentation and schedules a meeting (virtually, recorded, or in person) to deliver a practice run of the presentation to the Advisor May 22 Advisee delivers a practice run of the presentation to the Advisor and arranges to meet in person on the first day of the conference (or day prior if schedules permit) by end of May During the Conference Advisee/Advisor meet in person at the conference June 18/19 Advisor attends and/or chairs (as designated by GTAP) the Advisee’s presentation/session As scheduled Advisor follows up with Advisee on the outcome of their presentation (e.g., what did/did not go well, areas for improvement, where to go from here, etc.) Post-presentation Advisor helps Advisee network and engage with conference attendees Post-Conference Center for Global Trade Analysis solicits feedback from Advisors and Advisees to evaluate the program for further improvement June-July Advisor/Advisee continue professional relationship (as is fitting)
