Dear Doctors, Friends, and Colleagues,

We cordially invite you to submit your abstracts to the 67^th Annual National Student Research Forum (NSRF) on March 7^th, 2026, in Galveston, Texas! Since its inception in 1960, the NSRF has grown from a small regional meeting to a nationally respected assembly of young scientists featuring over 200 presentations by researchers from throughout the U.S. and internationally.

The NSRF is a meeting organized with the aim of advancement and recognition of the accomplishments of young researchers in the basic sciences, clinical sciences, and medical humanities. The NSRF offers an excellent opportunity for participants to receive review and recognition of their research by their peers and established scientists and undergo consideration for multiple awards.

Students are invited to submit abstracts of their unpublished works before the submission deadline of January 12^th, 2026. Please utilize the Abstract Submission Form on this webpage to submit your abstracts. On the submission form, please indicate whether you would like your abstract to be considered for an oral presentation exclusively, a poster presentation exclusively, or as both an oral and poster presentation.

We are hopeful that you will join us to recognize the research accomplishments of the clinicians and scientists of the future at the 67th Annual National Student Research Forum! The University of Texas Medical Branch provides primary funding for the Forum. For any questions or concerns, please email nsrfgalv@utmb.edu.

Sincerely,

2026 NSRF Co-Chairs
Alice Lee
