Agenda – TENTATIVE

Abstracts are for KY INBRE-funded research and are for poster presentation and possible podium talks. Only the student posters (high school, undergraduate students, graduate/medical students, postdocs) will be judged.

It is the author’s responsibility to see that the guidelines and instructions are followed to ensure optimal results.

Abstracts are due Aug 21. No late abstracts will be accepted.

Note: No figures or special characters will be accepted with the abstract. Because of the limitations of the form, there will not be italicized words, either. We are aware of this and are okay without them.

Each abstract should be divided into five subheadings:

- Introduction/Background
- Hypothesis/Goal of Study
- Methods and Results, and
- Discussion/Conclusions
- Grant Support/Citations and Acknowledgements

SIZE
Abstracts should include a title, author(s), affiliation(s), text, and acknowledgments. Please limit the body of the abstract to 300 words or less.

AUTHORS
The presenting author will be the primary contact for this abstract, will receive email notifications regarding poster creation, and be responsible for giving the podium and/or poster presentation. The presenting author is responsible to contact other authors regarding the status of the abstract. Include all authors’ full first and last names. The presenting author’s name should be listed first. Include all authors’ department and university affiliations. Research mentor/PI should be the last author.

If more than one Author, designate different affiliations with a number in parenthesis.

For example (with more than on author):

Clark Kent(1), Lois Lane(1), Oliver J. Queen(2), and Perry White(1)

AFFILIATION(S)
Include department, name of institution and location for each author on your abstract. Include affiliation key numbers.

Name of institution, department, and city where located.

GRANT SUPPORT
Acknowledgement of grant support should be given at the end of the abstract. KY INBRE’s official Citation verbiage can be found on our website here.

You are responsible for making sure there are not typographical or grammatical issues. Abstracts will be published publicly as submitted. If you do not want your abstract to be viewed by the public, mark it as “embargo.”

The KY INBRE Acknowledgement Statement/Citation Information and official logos are located under the Resources tab above. Do not right-click or screen capture our logo – that would be too low res for your poster. Hi res versions of our logo in various formats are available to download here on our website.

Please contact us if questions.
