Instructional Courses

Instructional courses are selected from submissions by PRiSM members each spring. Submissions are reviewed and graded based on the following:

• Originality
• Audience Appeal
• Diversity of speakers 
• Scientific content 
• Overall quality 

In order for the submission to be considered, it must adhere to the following diversity checklist:

• Organizing committee and/or advisory board includes representation across: gender identities, underrepresented groups, diverse racial backgrounds and geographic regions
• Ensure gender is balanced within presentation types (especially keynotes), and across the overall program
• Program includes a wide range of presenters, across gender identities, racial groups, ability, and sexual orientation. If presentations are submissions-based, actively solicit proposals and submissions from underrepresented groups
• For the participant pool, ensure that a proportion of registration spots are reserved for participants across ethnic backgrounds, gender identities, and geographic regions

Above should also include representation across specialty, experience, and prior participation
