The CON Research Committee is pleased to announce a CALL for Abstracts for the MNRS Student Poster Competition!!!
The MNRS 2024 conference will be held in Minneapolis MN February 28 – March 2, 2024. The Nursing Research Committee will provide funding for students selected to participate in the Student Poster Competition to attend this conference! This includes travel and lodging reimbursement, conference registration fees, and poster printing costs. Unfortunately, the committee cannot pay the MNRS student membership fees.
The CON Research Committee will sponsor three students from each program level (PhD, DNP, MS, BSN) for the MNRS student poster competition.
The poster criteria, guidelines, and the internal submission form are attached. Pay close attention to the requirements for each category (research vs evidence-based practice vs lit review) as noted in the poster guidelines.
The due date for the Student Poster Competition abstracts will be Friday September 8 (BY NOON).
Please submit the form to Sue Littau at slittau@uic.edu to disburse to the committee members for review and selection at their scheduled meeting on September 15. Students will be notified of the outcome that afternoon. This will allow students who are not selected for the poster competition to submit their abstracts to the MNRS General/Competitive Call (due September 21) if they wish.
Students who finished a dissertation (or EBP project) after the last MNRS conference in March 2023 are still eligible to submit a student poster even if they have graduated. Projects in progress can be submitted; however, judges are instructed to score incomplete sections or missing data as the lowest possible score for that section.
Hopefully you are taking advantage of our presentation, “Writing Competitive Abstracts” via our Blackboard site. Please contact Anne Pach (annepach@uic.edu) if you do not have access to our “course”, Office of Research Facilitation.
