Superfund Research Program
In addition to traditional presentations and plenary sessions, the NIEHS Superfund Research Program (SRP) Annual Meeting includes a poster session to highlight cutting-edge science by SRP trainees. Each year, the poster competition provides an opportunity for graduate students to explain their innovative research findings and activities. On March 6 and 27, 2017, SRP held a webinar series to feature the work of the 2016 winners.
Past poster winners include:
