From April 10 through September 7, 2018, students can submit abstracts to make a poster or oral presentation at the November 2018 Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS). ABRCMS is one of the largest communities of underrepresented minorities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Students attend this conference to present their research, explore graduate schools, and network. Research faculty and program directors play an essential role in mentoring students and strategies for facilitating student success.

During the four-day conference, more than 1,800 students from over 350 colleges and universities participate in poster and oral presentations in 12 STEM disciplines. All undergraduate student presentations are judged and those receiving the highest scores in each scientific discipline will be given an award during the closing banquet.
