Important Notes
1. Only one poster or oral abstract can be submitted per individual. However, another individual may be listed as a co-author on another abstract.
2. Students working in the same lab or on the same project must independently submit original abstracts. Identical abstracts submitted by different students will be automatically rejected.
3. Only one author can present a project during the conference. NO group presentations are allowed. However, if multiple students worked on the same project, then each of them can present the same project independently of one another so long as they submit different abstracts.
4. Approval must be obtained from all co-authors listed on the abstract, with written and signed consent submitted as proof. Failure to do so will result in the immediate rejection of the abstract.
5. Students must obtain approval from faculty advisor(s)/research mentor(s) before submitting the abstract, with written and signed consent submitted as proof. Failure to do so will result in the immediate rejection of the abstract.
6. Abstracts must be written by the student and reviewed by the faculty or research mentor.
