Presenting your Research

As part of the research experience, each student is expected to present the results of their research. These presentations may come in the form of a poster at a regional conference, a final report submitted to your mentor or even a published manuscript.

If you are supported by HHMI, your presentation or manuscript should acknowledge HHMI using this wording:
This research was supported in part by a grant to Gonzaga University from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute through the Undergraduate Science Education Program.

Here are some resources to help make a better research presentation, whatever form it may take, including logos for downloading at the bottom of the page.
