Representing GEP at a Conference

Conference Attendance Questions

Email Wilson Leung

Pre-Conference Form

GEP faculty planning to attend and/or present about GEP (or have their students do so) at a conference or workshop should fill out this form.

Post-Conference Form

GEP faculty who attended and/or presented about GEP (or had their students do so) should complete this form. At the end of this form, you will have the opportunity to upload presentation materials (posters, PowerPoint presentations, etc.), and pictures from the event.
If your students presented their GEP work at a conference, please ask them for permission to share their posters and presentations with the GEP. The student posters and presentations might be used to promote the GEP and used by future grant applications. If the students agree to share their work, please use the Post-Conference Form to upload their posters and presentations.

Conference Presenter Guidelines

The GEP is currently unable to provide financial support for GEP members to attend conferences and workshops.
The GEP would like to have presenters at the following conferences:
  • Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS)
  • Annual Biomedical Research Conference For Minoritized Scientists (ABRCMS)
  • Community College Undergraduate Research Initiative (CCURI)
  • National Meeting for the Council on Undergraduate Research (NCUR)
  • Association of College and University Biology Educators (ACUBE)
  • Southeast Regional Partnership for Undergraduate Life Sciences Education (SERP)
  • Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Awards (IRACDA)
If the conference offers a workshop option, consider this option for a higher-impact presentation opportunity. For larger-sized workshops, consider whether an additional person (faculty, staff, or student) is needed to assist with the presentation.
Authors and co-authors are all people presenting at the conference plus relevant people (listed below) and the GEP Program Director, Laura K. Reed. Depending on the data being presented, the individuals listed below are suggested co-authors for GEP projects in the following areas:
  • Advanced Research Lab: Logan Cohen
  • Assessment (Faculty/GEP community): Sean Gehrke, Anya L. Goodman
  • Assessment (Student): David Lopatto
  • Assessment (Virtual TAs): Christine M. Pribbenow
  • Insulin Signaling Pathway Project: Laura K. Reed
  • microPublications and TinyPubs: Laura K. Reed, Logan Cohen
  • Parasitoid Wasps Project: Nathan T. Mortimer
  • Puerto Rican Parrot Project: Juan Carlos Martinez-Cruzado, Alondra Díaz Lameiro, Don Paetkau
  • Sexual Development Pathway Project: Brian Schwartz, Kellie Agrimson
  • Tamarisk Beetle: Amanda Stahlke, Zeynep Özsoy
It is important that all co-authors read, review, and approve the abstract prior to submission.
Students do not need permission to present their own work at conferences. Furthermore, GEP central staff should not be co-authors on the student presentation unless one of them was heavily involved with the student’s project in particular; that staff member would then have to approve the abstract before it was submitted.
The following should be included in the acknowledgements sections of posters and presentations regarding funding for GEP projects:

This [poster/presentation/etc.] is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1915544 and National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health under award number R25GM130517 to Laura K. Reed and the Genomics Education Partnership.

Shorter version of the above: Supported by NSF IUSE-1915544 and NIH IPERT-R25GM130517
