Abstract

Enter Formal Title of Research Project or Presentation Here

The abstract should be a statement of the research project aimed at a general scientific audience.  You may assume a broad knowledge of science terms and methodologies but should avoid excessive jargon and technical terms.  If you are a paleontologist, for example, keep in mind that your audience will include chemists, engineers, psychologists…

Goals - the abstract should include the following:

  • Formal title of the research project (as shown above)
  • Statement of hypothesis, research question and/or goals
  • Explanation of how the research fits into the “Big Picture”
  • General description of research methods and anticipated results
  • Brief background and other important information about the research (while keeping within the 200 word limit)
