The Center for Women’s Health Research has announced their 2023 Poster Presentation & Awards Program. This is an opportunity for UNC faculty/staff, graduate/undergraduate students, and postdocs (residents and fellows) conducting women’s health research to have their work highlighted by CWHR and potentially receive award funding!
The UNC Center for Women’s Health Research is continually seeking ways to promote the essential work being done by researchers in alignment with our mission: Learning about diseases, disorders, and conditions that uniquely affect women, predominantly affect women, and affect women differently than men.
This year we are proud to announce our third Women’s Health Research Poster Presentation & Awards Program to stimulate and showcase research being done by faculty and staff, graduate and undergraduate students, and postdocs (residents and fellows) of UNC-Chapel Hill and to encourage networking and multidisciplinary collaborations. The areas of focus are modeled after our biennial NC Women’s Health Report Card: Preventative Health, Perinatal Health, Chronic Disease, Obesity, Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders, Cancer, Infectious Diseases, Barriers to Care, and Aging as they relate to the health of women.
Abstracts will be reviewed and judged on the following criteria:
- Impact to the delivery of health care in North Carolina
- The evaluation of sex as a biological variable
- Multidisciplinary science
- Impact on health equity
- Overall scientific value
Awards will be distributed to the highest-scored submissions in the following categories:
- Best poster by an undergraduate student ($400)
- Best poster by a graduate student, resident, or fellow ($500)
- Best poster by faculty or staff ($600)
Submit your abstract (deadline: March 17) at the link below and feel free to contact cwhr@unc.edu with any questions!
