2019 CGH Symposium Poster Guidelines

We are excited to learn about your work, your experiences and your outcomes as a CGH Scholar. Each scholar / scholar team is required to produce a poster for presentation at the 2019 CGH Research Symposium scheduled for the evening of Friday, October 25th in Clark Hall, 5:30-7:30PM.

 

On Thursday, October 3, 5PM at CGH on the UVA Corner, we strongly encourage you to attend the 2019 Research Poster Prep Workshop, led by UVA Professor Paige Hornsby, Public Health Sciences. Professor Hornsby will provide coaching that will be relevant and helpful to you for the duration of your academic career. She'll cover best practices for efficient, clear posters and for discussing your work effectively. Please sign up here.
 

The Research Symposium Poster Session will be adjudicated. A panel of faculty, researchers, and CGH Scholar Alums will assess poster presentations and make awards based on the criteria outlined at right. 

 

Your posters are due on Monday 14 October: CGH will print your poster; please just send it to me at UVACGH@gmail.com and please review the guidelines below!

 

All scholars should be prepared to speak about your work; preparing a 1, 3, and 5 minute talk to encapsulate your work is best practice for a poster session. As CGH projects are so diverse, we’re referencing guidelines for posters courtesy of the Office of Undergraduate Research. (Seriously, read this.) And, we that you adhere to very basic guidelines:

 

Create posters in PowerPoint sized at 36x48. (In Powerpoint, go to DESIGN, slide size, customize, and choose width 48, height 36) All Posters should be in Landscape format. CGH will be responsible for printing all posters and you may pick up your poster after the symposium.

 

Include compelling and relevant photographs, high-resolution photos are best. Please avoid any images which might compromise privacy, images of clinical settings, or images that include people who did not give their permission to be photographed.

 

Include your Institutional Review Board Protocol Number.

If you include credits, please note that the Center for Global Health funded your project.
