We welcome Kennedy Krieger affiliated trainees, staff, and early career faculty to present basic science, clinical, community-based, and quality improvement project posters and short research talks. 

Posters and talks presented at recent conferences within the past 12 months are permitted. We will consider presentation themes that include maternal and child health, childhood onset disabilities, pediatric neurology, pediatric behavioral health, neuroimaging related to neurodevelopmental disabilities, and pediatric clinical trials related to neurodevelopmental conditions. Preference will be given to submissions that include research data results and case series (as opposed to a single case report) and clear link to the presentation themes listed above. Posters must be presented in person. Top submitted abstracts will be selected to be presented as a 6 minute rapid-fire style talk.

Further details around poster preparation will be provided once your abstract is accepted. Notifications will be sent out February 18, 2027. For trainees registered at Kennedy Krieger Institute through the Training Administration office, we will arrange for and fund poster printing.

We will offer two cash prizes for the best oral and best poster presentation by a Kennedy Krieger affiliated trainee.

Please direct questions to Theresa Mayo (MayoT@KennedyKrieger.org). Please submit prior to the due date,  January 3, 2027, at 5pm.
