SSCP will be piloting having our formal programming at ABCT rather than APS during 2024 and 2025, with this decision being made based on member feedback on which conferences they attend.

The SSCP Student Poster Awards will take place during our SSCP programming at ABCT on Thursday, November 20, 2025 from 3-6pm. Student posters will be brief 3-minute flash talks, where students can present their poster (which will be projected on the screen) to attendees in a research blitz format. This is a great chance to present late breaking or surprising findings! 

Poster abstracts are due on Sunday, September 14 at 11:59 PM ET. Abstracts are limited to 2800 characters (not counting spaces). Abstracts can be submitted here. 

Multiple awards will be given for the SSCP Student Poster winners and distinguished contributions. To be eligible to submit an SSCP poster, the first author of the poster must be an undergraduate or graduate student or postbaccalaureate and must be a member of SSCP at the time of submission. Research should be original and not previously published or submitted. The research and analyses presented in the poster submission must be completed at the time of abstract submission.  

If you have any questions about the SSCP Student Poster Competition, please contact Rosanna Breaux at rbreaux@vt.edu. Please put “SSCP Poster” in the subject line to ensure your question is answered promptly.
