							                                PRESENTATION GUIDELINES


The SCRI conference is intended as a forum for researchers and policy makers to share
knowledge and expertise with a view to maximizing the practical applications of sport
participation research. To ensure an effective balance between presentation and dialogue, only

present posters. All award recipients are required to submit updated abstracts to SIRC by
August 29, 2011.
