Poster Abstract Submission

Thank you for submitting your work to the 2025 Texas Tech University Undergraduate Research Conference! We have an updated abstract submission and review process for 2025, 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 11:59 PM on Monday, February 10, 2025! We recommend students submit their abstracts before February 10, 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 not 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.
• Be sure to review our Presenter Information page for abstract preparation guidelines, the TTU URC Impact Areas prior to submitting.
• 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!
