Student Research Competition

Students attending the symposium who choose to submit an abstract are eligible for the following awards. Abstracts will be judged based on scientific merit and their potential to make an innovative and exciting contribution to the field of comparative nutrition. Due to the need to review all papers being considered for competition, the Deadline for all papers that wish to be considered for any of the following awards has passed.

Abstracts must be submitted in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) format. Figures need to be in JPG format only. Tables need to be made in Word and NOT in JPG to allow for formatting. All numbers should be decimal aligned in tables.
