Call for Research Posters

Health research poster submissions should be created to highlight ways in which the study or research program exemplifies the showcase theme U3 Mental Health Research Understanding Underserved and Understudied Populations.

 

Up to ten presented posters will receive awards to develop a grant proposal related to the presented project.

Submissions

Research poster submissions will open: January 13, 2025
Research poster submissions deadline: March 21, 2025

Requirements

  • Posters should represent research conducted within the last two years by Texas State faculty members, or by collaborative research teams that include at least one Texas State faculty member who will attend and present the poster at Health Scholar Showcase. Multi-institution research projects are permitted, and co-authors from other institutions are welcome at the Health Scholar Showcase.
  • Research conducted predominantly by graduate students is not permitted, but collaborative research among faculty and graduate students is permitted as long as the first author is a faculty member who will present the poster at the Health Scholar Showcase. This is a faculty research showcase, so we kindly ask that students do not present the poster.
  • In general, faculty members should submit no more than ONE research poster to the Showcase, but two posters will be accepted per faculty member as long as the posters represent distinctly different studies with different co-authors. There is no limit on the number of posters submitted by an academic department, college, or center. 
  • Due to space limitations, thematic and conceptual posters representing future research programs will not be accepted. Submitted posters should include information about research methodology, results, and (when applicable) future directions of the project.
