Poster Presentation and Contest: We encourage students, interns, and members who are conducting new research, expanding on existing scientific ideas, or supporting the foundation of the identification sciences to present their scientific results or literature reviews. This contest is the perfect opportunity to educate others on work currently being conducted in forensic science. The presentation and contest is held at the Annual CBDIAI Educational Conference. Presentations should include a two to five-minute oral presentation demonstrating the poster. Participants should also be prepared to answer questions from poster judges and conference attendees. Submission of application and more information about the poster presentation and contest will be announced close to the next conference date.
Student Lunch Session: The agenda for the spring conference will include a special sponsored lunch session with presentations of student interest. Be sure to register in the next upcoming conference!
Oral Presentations: The committee also encourages students to submit presenter forms to be considered for the general session agenda at either the fall seminar or spring educational conference. The submission form will be uploaded close to the seminar or conference date on the conference page of our website.
Chesapeake Examiner: Please consider submitting your written work for publication in the official magazine of the CBD-IAI. Instructions for submission and contact information for our Editor can be found on the Resources page.

Internships and Volunteers
Our goal is to create a section of the CBD-IAI website that is exclusive to members, outlining a list of agencies that accept volunteers/interns. Since this is exclusive information to members, the internships and volunteers section can be accessed once you login using your CBDIAI ID and Password. If your agency wishes to be listed, please fill out form.
Thank you in advance for your participation. If you have any questions, please contact our committee, [email protected].
We strongly advise students to become a CBD-IAI member to gain access to a list of forensic science related internship and volunteer opportunities.
