2. Guidance
Quad charts are analogous to an “elevator speech”- you will have minimal time to briefly inform the participants about the merits of your idea and create interest. If your idea is scored highly by your fellow participants, you will be afforded additional time to discuss with them. This will allow you the opportunity to use technical jargon, go into greater detail, and collaborate with the participants to refine, modify, and/or combine with other presented ideas to make it even stronger.
Please create one to three slides, each with a different idea that you think has application to Air Force S&T research. Each slide should be less than 500 kb (1/2 Meg) and must be in PowerPoint format using the master slide template provided in this file. File naming convention is “YOUR LAST NAME, FIRST & MIDDLE INITIAL, YOUR IDEA.ppt”. Except for the chart title, “Arial 14 point font” should be used throughout the quad chart

Problem Statement: Describe the problem that your idea addresses. You may use one of the exemplar problems provided with each S&T theme, or define your own problem related to one (or more) of the themes.
Keywords: Please suggest 5–10 keywords which can be used for describing the content of the research idea. They are equivalent to terms in an index in a printed work and distinguish the most important ideas, names, and concepts in your research idea. Each keyword should be kept short, one word where possible (though two and three word specialist terms are also acceptable where necessary). Keywords should not be too generalized.
Lastly, using PowerPoint's “View, Notes Page” option will allow you to include additional contact information.
