NRHA Submission Peer Review Process:

To bring quality presentations to NRHA conferences, the NRHA uses a peer review process to evaluate proposals to present at conferences. This process starts when a request for proposals is sent out to stakeholders, professional bodies, and institutions and individuals who have previously expressed interest in presenting at a NRHA conference. Presentation proposals received by the NRHA by a designated date are reviewed for conference appropriateness prior to being aggregated and sent out to members of the conference committee consisting of elected council members. The conference committee members individually review the proposal descriptions and scores them based on criteria established by the conference committee. These scores are then sent back to the NRHA for tabulation. Presentation proposal scores are then averaged with top rated presentations being accepted for the conference. Proposal rating criteria includes; but is not limited to, how the session relates to rural, clearly stated objectives, how it addresses Health Equity, how it addresses social determinants of health, and current relevance.

When council members present presentations, scores they submit for their presentations are not included in the averaging process.

Conflicts of interest must be disclosed when submitting presentation proposals.
