What is an Abstract?
An abstract/proposal is a short statement (limited to 250 words) about your poster or oral presentation that is designed to give the reader a complete, yet concise, understanding of your idea, research, and/or findings. It is a mini-version of your paper. A well-prepared abstract allows a reader to quickly and accurately identify the basic content of your paper. Readers should be able to read your abstract to see if the related research is of interest to them.
Proposals for other types of presentations (visual arts, performances, etc.) should provide a short description of the artwork and any relevant material that will aid the audience.
