I tried looking around the search function for info on this and found some things but still have some questions...
So, I am wondering where I can get some information regarding national conferences for poster presentations, what it takes to get in there, and what kind of prizes are offered.
I am a very broke and very ambitious graduate student in counseling psychology but have always had a soft spot for research. I'd love to contribute something to the field before I apply to doctorate programs. I want to do it for the experience, the recognition, and the monetary reward.
A few immediate questions that come to mind:
*Are there any review board guidelines/approvals that I have to go through before conducting my own independent study?
*Do I have to get published in order to get into a major poster conference?
*If I'm not required to be published, do I have to produce an actual article before creating the poster? Or can I just draw from the data and include an abstract/references?
*What makes a winning poster presentation?
This is something I'd like to start thinking about now and put into action toward the end of, or immediately after, my master's program is finished and I am doing my licensure hours. I have a number of research interests and fun ideas that I know will make for excellent scientific investigation.
Any info would be very helpful 🙂
