Poster Abstract Submission

 

Thank you for submitting your work to the 2024 Texas Tech University Undergraduate Research Conference! We have an updated abstract submission and review process for 2024, so please carefully review all of the information below before beginning your submission form. If you have any questions reach out to us at true@ttu.edu!

Reminder: Abstracts must be submitted and approved before 5:00 PM (Central) on Thursday, February 15, 2024! We recommend students submit their abstracts by February 7, to give their mentors sufficient time to review and approve their submission.

Before You Submit

• Only one presenter will be allowed per abstract; we will no longer approve co-presenters. Multiple presenters from the same project are allowed (actually encouraged!), but each presenter must submit a separate abstract.
• Please note this is a timed application. We strongly encourage applicants to compose their abstracts beforehand to ensure they have ample time to complete and review them before submitting.
• Double check spelling and capitalization. Submitted data will be used to create name tags and shared on the TTU URC website. Abstract forms where issues are identified during the review process will be rejected, but students are welcome to resubmit after confirming edits with the supervising faculty mentor.
• Be sure to review our Presenter Information page for abstract preparation guidelines, the TTU URC Impact Areas, and Outstanding Commercialization Awards prior to submitting. Each abstract must fall into one of the listed impact areas and indicate if the student would like to participate in the additional Commercialization Award judging.
• Students working on multiple projects are welcome to submit up to 2 unique abstracts.
• Faculty mentors, please watch for emails from the abstract review system after your student submits. Please see more detailed instructions below!
