mGIuRs Abstract Submission Form

mGluRs invites abstracts from neuroscience-related research projects that are completed, ongoing, and proposed. Finished and ongoing projects are those in which the project is completely or partially executed, and the authors can report and interpret study results. Ongoing projects can be denoted by including “Preliminary Findings” in the abstract title.

Proposed projects are those in which the justification, objectives, and methodology are established but data collection is pending and/or in early stages. Specific abstract requirements for each project type are provided below.

For your abstract to be considered for mGluRs, please complete all fields below and submit your abstract by September 22, 2023. Only one student per project should submit an abstract. The faculty mentor associated with the project will receive a confirmation email after submission.
