Symposium FAQs
Q: How will I know if my application was received?
A: Upon successful submission, you will receive an automated email indicating your
submission has been received.
Q: Do I need a faculty mentor to present my research?
A: Yes. All presenters must have a USF affiliated faculty mentor.
Q: Do I need to notify my mentor of my submission?
A: YES! Before you submit an application, you should notify your research mentor that
you are applying to present. (REU, RET, and IRES faculty will be aware but other
mentors should be notified.) Your faculty mentor will also receive an auto-generated
email of your submission.
Q: What is the maximum number of authors that can work on a single project?
A: Although there is no limit on the size of your research group, we will only include
the first six authors in the program.
Q: Do I need a program ready abstract to apply?
A: No. Due to the tight time frame for REU, RET, and IRES students, the program lists
poster authors and titles only.
