Student Research Day 2003 abstract deadline Sept. 24 The Student Research Day 2003 abstract deadline is midnight, Sept. 24.  Student Research Day 2003, the annual event presenting the full range of research undertaken by students, postdocs, residents and fellows in all programs of study in the six MUSC colleges will be held on Friday, Nov. 7.  SRD2003 is designed to provide a friendly environment for participants to gain experience in presenting at a meeting and to receive advice on how to achieve excellence in presentation skills. Presentations will be judged by faculty teams that will provide constructive criticism and guidance. In each section a first and second place prize will be awarded. Eligibility: To participate in SRD2003 you must be either 1) a student, postdoc, resident  or  fellow registered at MUSC on Nov. 7 and have performed research sometime during the year prior to Nov. 7 (not necessarily at MUSC); or 2) a student registered elsewhere on Nov. 7 who has performed research at MUSC sometime during the year prior to Nov. 7.  Many presentations will contain work still in progress—it is not necessary to have complete data in order to participate. Format: Both oral and poster presentation sessions are planned for the following sections:  Undergraduate Basic/Clinical Sciences and Undergraduate Social/Behavioral Sciences (for high school, and undergraduate BS, BA, students);  Clinical Professional Sciences (Basic/Clinical and Social/Behavioral Sciences) (for students in M.D., DMD, Pharm. D., MHS, MHA, MSN, etc programs);  Masters (M.S. students, including environmental studies);  Ph.D. (both years 1/2 and years 3/4+) (all students in all Ph.D. programs including MD/Ph.D, DMD/PhD, Nursing PhD);  Postdocs./Fellows/ Residents. (The number of abstracts received determines final division of session categories). Additionally there will be Bioinformatics/Information Science Awards presented by the MUSC library.
