Please create a poster of your research using the URD Powerpoint template which has the dimensions 24" x 36". If you do not use the template, your poster may be printed smaller than you wish (i.e., your poster will not be printed larger than 24" x 36" regardless of the size you send).

Poster information frequently includes the following sections:

  • Introduction or Background — Provide the rationale for your study. Give people an idea of the important research in the area, and the theory and empirical work that lead to your hypothesis. Sufficient background information, definitions and relevant formulas should be used to help the reader understand the nature of the investigation.
  • Methods — Describe the subjects, procedure, design, materials and measures of your study. Figures and flow charts can be used to illustrate experimental design, if applicable.
  • Results — This section presents what you found in your study. This section includes your statistical analysis and tables and/or figures showing your data. Figures and tables should include legends.
  • Conclusions — What important points should we take away from your study? What are the implications for future research?
  • References & Acknowledgements — These sections typically appear at the end of the poster. Reference section should cite primary sources of information and Acknowledgements should list the names of people who helped with the project.
