 **Poster Session Abstracts:**

 ***As of April 25, we are unable to accept additional posters - sorry!***  
  
HSCI is pleased to announce two special opportunities for poster presenters (at the trainee level) at this year's Retreat.

 **1. ORAL PRESENTATION AND AWARD OPPORTUNITY!**  
The Faculty Co-chairs will select 4 abstracts from those submitted by **Friday, April 6th**, to deliver oral presentations at the Retreat. This will give the co-chairs time to review the abstracts, and selected authors, the time to prepare an oral presentation. Three presenters will receive $500.00\* each. The top presentation, as selected by the co-chairs and audience electronic polling, will receive $1000.00\*. *\*Winners must meet eligibility criteria for award payments by Harvard University.*

 **2. CASH PRIZES FOR GENERAL POSTER SESSION!**  
Cash awards (total of 3 at $250.00 each) will be given this year to the top three posters, independent of the above-mentioned opportunity, as selected by a committee of HSCI faculty. Review will take place during the afternoon poster session.

 Abstracts must be received by **FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2018**, in order to be included in the program brochure. The presenting author MUST register for the event, and he/she must be available to present the poster during the mid-afternoon poster session.
