37th Annual Research Showcase
This two-day event gives our students and trainees the opportunity to share their research and promotes collaboration across the college.
Event Information
The College of Pharmacy’s 37th Annual Research Showcase will take place on February 5-6, 2024. The two-day event features Poster and Oral Competitions, an address by the invited Keynote Speaker, and an Awards Ceremony & Reception to celebrate the participants.
Current graduate students, Pharm.D. students, and postdoctoral trainees are welcome to participate in the Poster Competition, while the Oral Competition features selected research presentations by graduate students and postdoctoral trainees.
More information about this year’s event and links to previous events’ programs can be found on the COP Research Showcase webpage.
Presenting Your Research
The overall goal of a research poster is to provide a clear visual display of your project. The general recommended poster size is 36″ tall by 48″ wide, although some organizations may have their own specific requirements. Research posters should be organized, concise, and visually appealing.
When presenting your research, be prepared to give an overview of your research, rather than focusing on minute details. Tell the audience what your research intends to discover and why it is important. Plan ahead to be able to respond to “tell me about your research” and be prepared to answer questions.
All posters should be reviewed and approved by the faculty advisor/PI before printing. Presenters should be dressed professionally; this means no jeans, hats, flip-flops, etc. You are serving as a representative of your lab and the UF College of Pharmacy!
