At the conclusion of each research project, the fellow prepares oral presentations of the study in a short, research meeting presentation format, and/or in the poster presentation format also used at professional meetings. The purpose of this exercise is to give the fellows a realistic experience in scientific research presentation, and to prepare them for actual presentations of their research at professional meetings. Developing skills in written presentation of research is also critically important for the budding researcher. To prepare fellows for this task, Academic Seminar sessions are devoted to the subject including:
- Didactic presentations of alternative formats for presenting research information: the scientific abstract, journal article, review paper, book or monograph, or editorial
- Critiques of abstracts and journal-type articles written by fellows based on their research.
