CVM Annual Research Forum
Call for Abstracts
Friday, March 13, 2009
The Annual CVM Research Forum jointly sponsored by the Faculty Committee on Research and Phi Zeta organization is scheduled for Friday, March 13, 2009, at the CVM and will be followed by an awards reception.
The Research Forum will include three levels of participation:
- a poster session, open to DVM students, graduate students and house officers
- an oral presentation by DVM students
- an oral presentation by graduate students/house officers
CVM faculty will judge each level. A first-place award of $100.00 and a second-place award of $75.00 will be given in each category.
The abstract deadline is February 2, 2009. Each participant has the option of making either an oral or poster presentation. If there is an excessive number of abstracts for oral presentation, then a subset of abstracts will be accepted for oral presentations. The participants that are not accepted for oral presentation will have the option of preparing a poster. Participants will be notified by February 13, 2009, about the session in which they will be participating. Abstracts and entry forms should be submitted online.
The poster presentations will be on display all day at the Research Forum. Poster presentations must be set up by 5:00pm on Thursday, March 12. Oral presentations will be limited to 10 minutes (eight minutes for presentation and two minutes for questions). Presentations will be strictly timed to ensure that all are completed in a reasonable timeframe.
All CVM faculty are asked to attend and encourage their DVM students, graduate students and house officers to present at the Research Forum. See the linked pages for information concerning abstract constraints and an entry form. Questions? Contact Samantha Hartford.
