The Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center invites campus researchers to submit their poster abstracts for the 2019 Alzheimer’s Disease & Related Disorders Research Day poster session. The call for posters is open to students of all levels, trainees, researchers, and faculty who are involved in research related to Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, aging, and related topics.
Poster abstracts are due Monday, February 4, and must be submitted online. Accepted poster presenters will be notified by February 11.
Members of the Alzheimer’s Disease & Related Disorders Research Day Committee will review abstract submissions. The committee will invite three abstract presenters to give podium presentations during the event. A panel of judges will determine the top posters in the following categories: Best Undergraduate Poster; Best Graduate Student or Research Specialist Poster; and Best Fellow, Post Doc, or Research Scientist Poster. The top poster presenters will receive cash awards.
