We are pleased to announce the 2024 Earle P. Charlton Poster Competition. All Medical School, Dental School, GSBS, and Veterinary School students pursuing MS, MPH, DPT, MD, PhD, DMD, and DVM degrees can participate in the poster competition. The research presented must be the student's work and performed during the student's graduate enrollment at Tufts. The intent of this event is to allow students to exchange ideas with the Tufts scientific community and develop presentation skills. Cash prizes will be awarded in each of the three categories - GSBS Junior, GSBS Senior, and Professional School students.

Students must submit their Entry Form and 300-word abstract via the online form by Friday, November 1 at 5:00 pm ET. Only one abstract may be submitted per student. Students will be notified of poster presentation time by Tuesday, November 12 at 5 pm. Abstracts will be judged based on the research objective justification, clarity of the methods, readiness of the results for presentation, and level of engagement of the submitting student in the research. The 300-word limit for abstracts does not include the title, author names/affiliations, or student academic program details. Abstracts should NOT include figures or tables.

More information is available in the linked Call for Abstracts. If you have any questions regarding the poster competition, please reach out to Isaac Harmon at Isaac.Harmon@tufts.edu.
