The Health Sciences Research Day
Health Sciences Research Day, Thursday, November 11, 2010, provides a forum for original research and educational innovations by undergraduate, medical, nursing, and health professions students, as well as pre/post-doctoral trainees working with faculty appointed in the Schools of Medicine, Nursing and Health Professions. Students are encouraged to present the results of their research at Student Research Day, held each fall at the School of Medicine. This day-long symposium is filled with poster presentations by medical and graduate students with prizes awarded to the three best presentations in each student category. In addition, special Deans' Awards will be given for the most outstanding research conducted by trainees from the schools of Nursing, Health Professions, and Medicine, respectively. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 5:00 p.m. Friday, September 24, 2010. Abstracts must be submitted via email to the School of Medicine Office of Research at: taylord@health.missouri.edu.

- Section A: Clinical Science (involving human participants)
- Section B: Basic Science
- Section A: Clinical Science (involving human participants)
- Section B: Basic Science
Based on poster judging, three awards will be given to those posters in each section (total of 12 awards) that receive the best scores. Holders of academic titles are not eligible for awards.
