NYUCD Annual Student Research Exposition Guidelines

Abstracts:
Presenters are asked to submit an e-mail to 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 assist in the timely preparation of the Research Program.

Abstracts must be submitted electronically using the research form found on:
http://www.nyu.edu/dental/intranet/students/researchday/form/form.php,
no later than March 23, 2009, with a copy of the abstract and title via e-mail to . Please be concise but thorough. Abstracts will be reprinted in a program book. The abstract (11 point Arial), Title (12 point Arial bold) and list of authors (12 point Arial regular) should fit in a box 7" wide x 4 ½" tall; please proofread abstract carefully before submitting. Early submission is appreciated.

The format for the titles is as follows: Example: Presenting a poster for Research Day. Elizabeth Appel and Louis Terracio, Office of Research, NYU College of Dentistry. It is preferred if only the first word is capitalized rather than all words in the title. Authors should be given with their full names, but not titles or degrees. Departments and colleges should be included. When authors are included from other institutions, that information should be provided. The presenting author should be a student, should be named first, and will be the only author considered for an award.

Poster Presentations:
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 possible. Posters may take nearly an hour to print. Over 100 students presented in 2007; some had to get their posters printed at Copy Central, which was less convenient, because they didn't make their reservations in time.

Awards: Only ONE presenter per poster will be considered for an award. If more than one student authors the presentation, the student named first should be present for the judging to be evaluated for the exposition.

Posters are to be mounted on Wednesday, April 22, 2009, with the storage tubes removed and stored elsewhere. Pushpins will be provided. The posters should be removed on Thursday, April 23, 2009, following the Awards Reception. If you will be unable to remove your poster by 6:00 pm and do not want it discarded, it is critical that you make arrangements for it to be removed.

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