Indiana CTSI Pharmacometrics Modeling and Simulation Symposium

One of our core values has been to ensure inclusivity and accessibility to knowledge for all, regardless of financial constraints. To maintain the quality of our symposium and continue providing low cost registration, we are seeking financial support from generous donors like you and/or your company. Your contributions will play a pivotal role in sustaining our mission and enhancing conference offerings. Sponsorship funds beyond those necessary to support the symposium will be used to offset travel and other educational expenses for trainees.

As part of the 14th Annual Indiana CTSI Pharmacometrics Modeling and Simulation Symposium, we invite trainees to participate in a Trainee Poster Presentation Challenge. For the challenge, you will have the flexibility to present either a traditional poster, a visual abstract or an infographic. Regardless of your chosen format, the presentation must be printed on a poster for showcase to the judges at the symposium.

• You will have no more than three minutes to present your infographic or visual abstract to the panel of judges. The judging will be based on the following criteria:

• Content: Is your research presented so that it is clear and easy to understand?
• Design: Does the layout of your poster help explain and guide the viewer through the information?
• Presentation: Did you explain your research/visual in a clear and confident way, sticking to the three minute time limit?
• Bonus points will be given for engaging and shareable visuals.

• The winner will receive a cash prize.

Resources for making a strong submission: 

• For inspiration infographics

• For creating visual abstracts

• For posters

Interested trainees can register for the Trainee Poster Presentation Challenge during main event registration or by emailing Megan Creasser.
