Student Poster Contest Winners 
The 23rd Annual NASA Space Radiation Investigators’ Workshop will be held July 8–11, 2012, at the Washington Duke Inn in Durham, North Carolina. The purpose of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for active researchers in the NASA Space Radiation Program to share the results of their work and to explore new directions for research that may benefit the NASA program. The workshop format will include plenary sessions, short talks, poster sessions, and a poster competition to recognize and honor student investigators. In addition, there will be special sessions on space physics and technology allowing opportunities for a comprehensive discussion on NASA’s overall space radiation protection goals.
Principal investigators receiving NASA funds (including those from the NASA/DOE joint program and the NSBRI) are required to attend; principal investigators funded by the Department of Energy are strongly encouraged to attend. Although attendance at the workshop is by invitation only, other scientists with a legitimate interest in space radiation research are also welcome.
The workshop will include Red and Blue Team debates discussing the progress and major gaps of research and technology developments in several important space research areas. Instructions for oral and poster presenters to participate in the Red and Blue Team debates will be made available at a later date.
