The deadline to submit this completed form with a 1-page abstract and short bio (500-character limit not including publication list) is 4:00pm ET on Tuesday, October 8.

NOTE: Submissions are open to students currently enrolled in doctoral programs at SERC collaborating universities (see list below), Minority Institutions (MI), or Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU).

Doctoral students who are selected and accept are expected to present their work in person. All presentations will be 20 minutes (including Q&A). All materials must be cleared for public release. Presentation slides will be uploaded to the SERC website after the forum.

All doctoral student presenters will be considered for the Dr. Barry Boehm Award for Doctoral Student Research Excellence that includes a small monetary prize.
