In this competition, early career researchers will test their science communication skills by providing a short, 3-minute presentation of their biomedical or health-related research, including its significance and broader context to a general audience. Each Flash Talk will be evaluated by a panel of judges on how effectively and concisely the research was communicated. Cash prizes will be awarded.
The preliminary round of the competition will take place on June 30, 2021 during "Reaching the Peak: A Science & Technology Career Summit," with the final round occurring during the 2021 National Health Research Forum on September 13-15, 2021.
In preparation for the competition, accepted participants will be asked to submit an outline of their Flash Talk and presentation materials by the announced deadline. Participants will also have the opportunity to practice their Flash Talk with R!A staff prior to the competition date. If invited to participate, you will be provided additional details on this preparation process.
This application will close April 23, 2021 at 11:59pm ET.
