At the Spring 2023 Undergraduate Research Symposium, there will be 11 Special Area Competitions held alongside the research showcase. While all submitted abstracts will be automatically considered for participation in 8 of these competitions based on subject matter, the remaining 3 require separate registration below. Please read the following descriptions carefully and indicate if you would like to be considered for inclusion in these completions. For a full list of Special Area Competitions, please click here.
This competition is for students in the life sciences and/or engineering who have conducted research related to preventing, diagnosing, or treating a human medical condition (i.e. illness, injury, or disease). The project should have clear biomedical relevance. Poster presentations by each student will be evaluated by at least three judges, including representatives of biomedical and engineering sciences.

The 3Minute Research Pitch is a competition that challenges undergraduate students to present a compelling verbal presentation of their research topic and its significance in just three minutes. The goal of this program is to develop academic, presentation, and research communication skills and support the development of undergraduate students' capacity to describe their research in language appropriate to a public audience.
Students compete by presenting their research topic in three minutes or less. Competitions are judged by a panel comprised of a diverse group of professionals (academic and non-academic) with a wide range of expertise.
Note: The 3Minute Research Pitch competition will be held on April, 14 th at 1:30pm in the Dawg House.
