Key Information: ASPET membership in good standing is required in both 2026 and 2027, and competitors must present in person.
ASPET’s Student-Postdoc Poster Competition showcases and recognizes the highest-quality scientific work submitted by the society’s young scientist members. The competition is for undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, and graduate students and postdoctoral scientists attending the ASPET 2027 Annual Meeting. Pharmacology-related research across any specialty is eligible, including work from pharmacology, toxicology, physiology, pharmaceutical sciences, and biological chemistry.
Cash awards are offered by ASPET’s divisions and through the Mentoring and Career Development Committee’s Dolores C. Shockley poster competition. The Shockley award is intended for members who have experienced significant educational or training challenges due to systemic or structural barriers. Selected competitors present their research during their regularly assigned poster session, when judges assess their work.
