Do I have to pay for this event?
If you attend one of our sponsoring universities, attendance is free
of charge! In the event you do not attend one of these universities,
please contact us prior to submitting an application.
I worked on two different projects. Can I make two presentations?
Your name may appear on more than one application, however you may
only submit one application in which you are the first author.
My presentation at the Symposium will be different from what I applied with and proposed. Is this acceptable?
Yes, small changes are acceptable to a project. We understand the
dynamic endeavor that is research. However, very large changes that
alter the goal or dramatically change project results will need to be
reviewed again. We ask that if this occurs to please notify us at least 2
weeks prior to the event for us to review the changes and integrate
your abstract changes into our program prior to being printed. If you
are unsure as if your change would be considered a “dramatic” change it
is imperative that you contact us. Changing your project without
notifying the board may make you ineligible for awards.
How are applications and abstracts reviewed?
The Inter-School Board meets throughout the year to review abstract
submissions. We strive to accept all applications, however we are
limited by the size of our venue. After the Board reaches a decision on
your abstract submission, a representative from the Board will notify
you with the status of your application.
Can I invite family and friends to come view my presentation?
Yes! Our event is open to the public and we encourage you to bring
guests! However, due to limited seating and budget, we may not be able
to accommodate all guests for our catered meal. If you want your guests
to be able to attend the lunch, you must list them during registration.
In the event your application is approved, we will contact you regarding
the meal. If you have guests who are not registered for a meal, there
are many dining options in our venue and within walking distance of
campus.
Can a group of student who worked on a project together still present?
Yes, this is acceptable. Only one application is needed for the group
of students who worked on the project. Please make sure that all names
are put down on the application so that everyone is represented and we
can put everyone on our roster. Research is all about working together
and networking, we encourage this kind of work!
When is the event being held? Where?
This information can be found on our homepage. Can I present if I do not have an IRB or IACUC approval (assuming your project includes human or animal subjects, respectively)? No. Your application will be rejected if we are not able to verify the protocol number you provided on your application.
What if I need audio-visual equipment or other accommodations for my presentation?
On the application, let us know what you need for your presentation.
Examples include power outlets, surge protectors, projectors, etc. You
will be notified by e-mail prior to the symposium of whether we are able
or not to accommodate the equipment requests you indicated on your
application. If you are bringing your own equipment and require extra
space for your project’s configuration, please notify us before the
event.
