Yes, but you can only be the primary author on one submission.
Yes, you may present work that has already been presented elsewhere as long as the work is not yet published.
Original research consists of any work that seeks to answer a self-formulated question. A term paper and meta-analysis may satisfy this requirement as long as there are original ideas or conclusions in the analysis. Reporting of the works of others such as a literature review without new conclusions will not be considered "original research".
If you are unable to attend the conference, please indicate that on your application. We will consider abstracts from all poster applicants, but priority will be given to those who are able to attend the conference.
"Methods" does not only refer to a scientific experiment, but includes the type of analysis carried out as well as various procedures that were performed in gathering information and dealing with unexpected results. While a physical scientist may discuss a certain assay, a social scientist may discuss a certain type of survey or statistical tool utilized.
We cannot accept presentations on proposed research projects. If your project is currently underway and you have a significant amount of preliminary data that is sufficient in quantity and relevance for a poster or oral presentation, this may be acceptable.
You will receive a confirmation email.

Posters size is up to the discretion of the presenter. There is enough board space for 3' x 4'. They can be set up the morning of the conference, before it begins, and presenters should bring their own tacks.
Presentations should not extend beyond 15 minutes. After each of the presenters as presented in a given section, there will be time at the end of the session for questions for all of the presenters. If the presentation requires the use of a computer, presenters should arrive before the start of the conference to load their presentation onto the computer in their designated room.
