The 48th Annual National Student Research Forum (NSRF) will be held at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas, on April 26-27, 2007. Visit our site for information or view our flyer.

The NSRF provides a national forum for presentation of outstanding research by medical students, interns, residents, and graduate students in the health sciences. The program also recognizes research accomplishments by means of awards as determined by the evaluations of medical scientists and the co-directors. I am writing to you on behalf of the 2006-2007 Co-Directors asking that you forward this information throughout your institution. We extend this opportunity for young scientists to receive meaningful and pertinent evaluation of their research efforts from their peers and established scientists in a forum meeting the highest possible standards. We would greatly appreciate if you would please forward this information to medical and graduate students in your program areas.

In order to maintain the broad scope of clinical and basic research presentations, we coordinate activities with the three regional forums and work to maintain relationships with local forums. The deadline for NSRF abstract submissions is January 12, 2007. Please visit www.utmb.edu/nsrf for the application and event details. Abstract submissions are to be sent to k.barfield@utmb.edu with attention directed to Kimberly Barfield.

Thank you for your time, and assistance in providing this exciting opportunity to your students, colleagues, and fellow researchers.
