This year, we are excited to announce a Women’s Health Research Poster Presentation and Awards Program to stimulate and showcase research being done by faculty, graduate/undergraduate students, and postdocs (residents and fellows) of UNC and to encourage networking and multidisciplinary collaborations. The areas of focus are modeled after our biennial NC Women’s Health Report Card: Preventative Health, Perinatal Health, Chronic Disease, Obesity, Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders, Cancer, Infectious Diseases, Barriers to Care, and Aging as they relate to the health of women.
Abstracts are due by 5 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 24. All abstract submissions will be featured on the Center’s website and the top submissions will be displayed as posters in the main atrium of Bondurant Hall on Monday, March 30. Abstracts should be between 150 and 250 words – an abstract template can be found here.
Abstracts will be reviewed and judged on the following criteria:
- Impact to the delivery of health care in North Carolina
- The importance of sex as a biological variable
- Multidisciplinary science
In addition, awards* will be distributed to the highest-rated submissions in the following categories:
- Poster that best demonstrates the importance of sex as a biological variable ($1,000)
- Best poster by a student, resident, or fellow ($500) – 2 awards
- Best poster by faculty ($500)
Submit your abstract here, and feel free to contact cwhr@unc.edu with any questions!
*awards will be issued in the form of pre-paid gift cards
