Guidance and Objectives
- To allow everyone to show their work, all presentations will be in a poster format only.
- Posters are welcomed to showcase public health research, practice, community engagement, innovative teaching, workforce development, and more!
- Everyone can select the poster template and the structure that best describes their creative work. We welcome artistry and imagination!
- The abstract submission allows for structured and unstructured abstracts. Choose the one that best describes the work that you want to share with your peers.
- It is okay to share work that is in development; this is a great opportunity to get feedback and ideas from colleagues and mentors.
- It is acceptable to present posters that have been recently presented elsewhere, including the CPH Research Day at the CCTS Spring Conference. There will be peers who have not seen this work.
For Students
- You do not need to have a formal mentor to submit and abstract and present a poster.
-
Students can submit posters that are not research posters (some examples could be practicum/internships, a mission/study abroad experience, community engagement). We want to hear about it!
- If you are not sure if your idea/work/experience is poster-worthy, please send us email to CPHResearch@uky.edu. We will be happy to discuss and provide guidance.
