Additional ACE Opportunities:
Platform Presentations
Top posters for each topic (chiropractic, neuroscience, nutrition, and human performance) will be invited to give a 4-minute platform presentation of their digital poster during an ACE Break (expo break times). This opportunity is available for: Clinicians, Clinician-Scientists, Faculty, and Students. (Full-time scientists – see Research Spotlight opportunity below). Following presentations, the best poster presentation will receive a $500 cash prize, as judged by members of the ACE planning committee. Announcements of top posters eligible for platform presentation will be February 2nd, 2023. Participation in platform presentation selection is not requirement for all submissions. Please be sure to acknowledge your interest to participate within your interest form submission.
Research Spotlight
Beginning in 2023, Parker Seminars will be hosting a Premier Workshop focused exclusively on SCIENCE! Research Spotlight Opportunities will be available for full-time scientists with an accepted ACE abstract. The Research Spotlight will consist of a 10-minute commentary (similar to a ‘TEDtalk’) over the scientist’s research profile and must include the study highlighted in the accepted ACE abstract. Announcements of individuals accepted for this opportunity will be made on January 9th, 2023.
Student Mentorship
Parker Research Center’s mission includes providing students from all Chiropractic universities the opportunity to learn more about the process of developing quality research. Students in clinical rotations are welcomed and encouraged to submit their own case studies for review. For students who would like to learn more about the process of developing research and take initial steps towards performing quality research, the ACE committee has asked submitting authors if they are willing to allow students to be a part of their poster design process. This will allow students to ask questions about the development of the research project and see what the development of a research poster looks like. Opportunities will be first come first served and based on willingness to mentor by submitting authors. If you are interested, please fill out the following survey form by November 1st, 2022. Thank you for your interest in research and science!
If you have trouble or have questions, please contact the Research Center via email at abstracts@parker.edu.
