NYUCD Annual Student Research Competition Guidelines


Presentations:
Presenters are asked to submit an e-mail to dentalresearch@nyu.edu stating your intent to submit an abstract as soon as possible. This informal e-mail should include your name, the proposed title of your poster, and your department/level (i.e. PG-Ortho, DDS, Nursing RN, Nursing PhD, DDS Honors). This will permit proper assignment of abstract numbers and timely preparation of the Research Program.

Two posters must fit on each side of a 5’8” wide by 3’8” high bulletin board. Because Informatics prints on 3’ paper, there will be some overlap, so design your poster with a 2” border to allow for the overlap. Oversized posters will not be accepted. Please make an appointment with Informatics to print your poster on a large format printer at http://www.nyu.edu/dental/intranet/posters/ as soon as you submit the abstract. Posters may take nearly an hour to print. With approximately 100 students presenting, it is critical that you make your appointment as soon as possible.

Only the first 100 entries will be accepted for the competition. Entries must be submitted electronically only using the research form found on: http://www.nyu.edu/dental/intranet/students/researchform.html, no later than March 21, 2008. As abstracts will be reprinted in a program, each abstract must fit into a space 7” wide x 4-1/2” tall; please proofread abstract carefully before submitting. Early submission is appreciated.

Only ONE presenter per poster will be considered for an award. If there are more than one student author, the student named first should be present for the judging to be evaluated for the competition.

Posters are to be mounted on Wednesday, April 16th, and removed on Thursday, April 17, 2008, following the Awards Ceremony. Pushpins will be provided. If you will be unable to remove your poster by 5:00 pm and do not want it discarded, it is critical that you make arrangements with a friend or department member for it to be removed.

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Research at 212-998-9219 or via email at .
