Who can participate in the poster competition?

We welcome undergraduate, masters, PhD, and postdoctoral fellows.

What are the poster awards?

Awards vary from year-to-year, but we have separate award categories for undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral participants.

Which research topics are appropriate for the poster competition?

The INBT is a multidisciplinary organization, therefore research from medicine, engineering, public health, translation, and the basic sciences are all relevant topics for presentation. You will be contacted by INBT if your poster is determined NOT to be appropriate for presentation. ALL POSTERS ARE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY INBT.

What poster size is acceptable?

Poster dimensions should be NO LARGER than 4’ x 4’. Smaller is better as you will share the poster board with another person.

What Should I expect during the poster competition?

Posters need to be in place by 12:15 pm. Judging begins promptly at the start of each session and you must stand by your poster during your assigned time. During and following the poster competition is a reception. When your session is over, you are encouraged to visit other poster presenters and network with guests. Poster winners and award distribution will occur during closing remarks and the awards ceremony.

Be sure to take posters with you after the competition closes. The INBT is not responsible for posters lost or left behind.

When does poster registration close?

Poster registration closes Wednesday, April 12, 2023 at 11:59 pm ET.

Can I register for the poster competition after the deadline?

No. You cannot register for the competition after registration closes. The INBT team needs time to prepare for the poster competition. However, you still have time to register for the symposium. This deadlines closes Sunday, April 16, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. ET.

When Will I hear back from INBT about my assigned poster number and session?

You will hear from the INBT after poster registration closes and before the day of the symposium. If you forget your poster number or session, INBT staff are available to help you.
