Call for Abstracts for 2011 ABRCMS Conference
Description:
Sophomores, juniors, seniors, postbaccalaureates, and graduate students in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, including mathematics, are invited to submit an abstract for the 2011 Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS).
Abstract Submission Deadline: September 9, 2011
The 2011 ABRCMS will be held at the America’s Center in St. Louis, Missouri, from Wednesday, November 9, to Saturday, November 12. ABRCMS gives students an opportunity to present their research through poster or oral presentations and expand their scientific and professional development knowledge through innovative sessions, as well as networking opportunities. Participants also learn about graduate schools, summer research opportunities, and postdoctoral fellowships by participating in the exhibits program, which encompasses more than 400 representatives.
In 2010, approximately 3,300 individuals (including undergraduate and graduate students, exhibitors, program directors, and administrators) from around the country participated in this prestigious national conference designed to encourage students to pursue advanced training in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, including mathematics. More than 1,400 students presented their innovative research in ten diverse scientific disciplines throughout the four-day conference. At the closing banquet, 157 undergraduate students were recognized for their outstanding presentations.
Graduate student presentations will now present their poster presentations in the Main Exhibit Hall. There will be a designated area for graduate students and previous ABRCMS presentation awardees to present thus maintaining easy access for representatives from post-doctoral fellowship programs to recruit.
