The program is held each spring in Washington, D.C. 60 competitively selected student posters are displayed at the U.S. Capitol, followed by a visit with members of Congress and representatives from various federal funding agencies. Applicants submit a research abstract, the topic of which must fall into one of CUR's administrative divisions (Biology, Chemistry, Geosciences, Humanities, Mathematics/ Computer Science, Physics/Astronomy, Psychology, and Social Sciences). Each abstract should explain the work that was performed and discuss its importance for science and society. Applicants can apply online through CUR's website.
