Instructions for Abstract submission – same for Masters and PhD students:
- Maximum of 300 words
- Written for a wide audience, outlining the public health impact and implications of the work.
- Written clearly and concisely for a multidisciplinary audience. Think about what any DLSPH student/faculty would need to know in order to understand this poster and why should they be interested?
- Why is it important for public health?
- What does it contribute to public health?
Masters students:
Posters presentation – we encourage all MPH students to submit an abstract for a poster that showcases work from any stage of research or practical experience. At least 2 judges will circulate and provide feedback/ask questions about each poster.
Students can choose to present a poster in 1 of the 2 categories: Practice or Research:
Practice: The poster focuses on your practicum experience or projects you worked on, that may or may not be research related.
Research: The poster presents a research project. It will most likely be set up as a conventional research poster with background, methods, results and implications.
We strongly encourage poster presenters to view the PhD 3MT Competition at 12:30PM. All poster presenters are expected to be by the posters from 1:30-2:30pm as judges will be circulating.
PhD students:
We strongly encourage PhD students to participate in the 3MT Competition and present their Posters to judges at Research and Practice Day. There will be an award for the 3MT competition winner and PhD students are also eligible to compete in the poster awards. PhD students can choose to participate in:
- 3MT competition + poster judging (strongly encouraged) or
- 3MT competition only or
- Poster judging only (see above instructions).
3MT Competition – Participants have three minutes or less to present their research to a panel of non-specialist judges. This competition is a unique opportunity for graduate students to showcase their innovative and significant research in a concise manner. Presentations are limited to 3 minutes maximum and competitors exceeding 3 minutes are disqualified.
Rules to 3MT Competition:
- A single, static PowerPoint slide is permitted (no slide transitions, animations, or “movement” of any description are allowed), and the slide is to be presented from the beginning of the oration and remain in view for the duration of the oration.
- No additional electronic media (e.g., sound and video files) are permitted.
- No additional props (e.g,. costumes, musical instruments, laboratory equipment) are permitted.
- Presentations are limited to 3 minutes maximum and competitors exceeding 3 minutes are disqualified.
- Presentations are to be spoken in standard oratory prose (i.e., no poems, raps or songs, other than those that may be the target of research).
- Presentations are considered to have commenced when a presenter starts their presentation through movement or speech.
- A panel of judges will provide feedback regarding each presentation on a rubric.
- More information and resources will follow once PhD students submit their abstracts for the 3MT competition.
Notes
Late posters and 3MT slides will not be considered.
Poster – Once the abstract has been submitted and accepted, DLSPH will print your poster (36” height x 48” width) for free. The poster will be in black and white – paper quality. You can also choose to use a colored pre-printed poster. If you choose to bring your own poster, you do not need to submit an e-copy.
It is not advised that dark colors be used. If possible, you should submit a poster that is black and white (and gray if you would like some slight shading). In the past, students have submitted colorful posters but they turn out to be too dark and text was very hard to read.
Multiple cash prizes available. Award Ceremony Prizes will be awarded at the reception held at the end of the event. To be eligible to win a prize, presenters must be present during the award ceremony.
