Student researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center will compete for $1,500 in award money today at this year’s Student Research Forum.
More than 100 student presentations highlight this year’s forum, which includes a day of research presentations, a keynote lecture and an academic workshop. The workshop, “Current Trends in Scientific Publication: The Role of Open Access,” will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday in the Lied Auditorium on the Med Center campus.
The 12-minute presentations allow students to practice presenting scientific information as they will later in their careers, Nicholas Tejeda, Wichita graduate student and one of the event’s student organizers, said. Students develop their research projects under the direction of a faculty member and complete what Tejeda called “not your cookie-cutter research.”
For students that participate in the forum, their presentations will resemble the same format as a national research meeting, said Joseph Bast, associate dean for graduate studies. Students present formally to a panel of faculty judges, who select the top presenter in each of 15 categories and the four schools on the Med Center campus — Allied Health, Nursing, Medicine and the Graduate School.
Students not presenting during the day sessions will present posters during the wine and cheese reception at 5 p.m. in the Varnes Center. The awards banquet will be at 6 p.m. Friday at the Intercontinental Kansas City Hotel.
The forum’s current structure, open to any researching student on the Med Center campus, has been in place since 1979. The event is 99.9 percent run by students, Bast said. Participating students are included on 13 committees, and are the two event co-chairs and 107 presenters.
This year, participants registered online, and judges will enter their scores electronically. The keynote lecture and workshop presentations will be digitally recorded and archived, Tejeda said.
