The oSTEM Annual Conference Poster Session is intended for undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdocs to showcase their research to other conference attendees. Anyone performing academic or industry research can submit a poster for consideration.
Submission Milestones
Overview
The oSTEM Annual Conference Poster Session is intended for any researcher to showcase their research to other conference attendees. Presenters will have the opportunity to opt into judging and poster prizes will be awarded in the following categories: Best Undergraduate Research Poster, Best Graduate Researcher, and Best Post-Doctoral Research. We will also facilitate the “People’s Choice” poster competition where conference participants are able to select their favorite poster! Poster awards will first be evaluated by the quality of the abstract submitted and the judging panel will select the top posters in each category to judge their poster presentation. Presenters will be notified the week before the conference if their poster will be visited for poster judging.
All abstract submissions should be submitted following the NIH Structured Abstracts guidelines. Participants also have the opportunity in the same form to submit their work for a research talk. This will use the same abstract submission as the poster presentation. Research talks will be 10-minutes in length followed by 5-minutes for questions immediately following the presentation. These will occur during the workshop blocks throughout the weekend.
For full consideration for research talks, please submit prior to September 1, 2024. The final deadline to submit a poster is September 30, 2024. Poster submissions are rolling acceptance.
